Untranslated Nucleotide Sequence at the 5′-End of R 17 Bacteriophage RNA

Nature volume 227, pages 570–574 (1970)Cite this article

Abstract

The 5′-terminal sequence of 74 nucleotides reported here does not seem t̄o be involved in the synthesis of phage specific proteins but is probably concerned in the replication of R17 RNA. It is also of comparative interest—the sequence is strikingly similar to the corresponding section of Qβ phage RNA.
