Bacteriophage T4 gene 42 encodes dCMP hydroxymethylase, an
enzyme unique to the deoxyribonucleotide metabolism of T-even
bacteriophages. To study biochemical and biophysical properties of
the enzyme, as well as the interaction of dCMP hydroxymethylase with
other DNA precursor biosynthetic enzymes in vitro, availability of large
amounts of the enzyme is...
