Avery, MacLeod & McCarty: DNA carries transforming information

Purified a pneumococcal transforming fraction and presented chemical and enzymatic evidence that its activity resided principally in DNA.

What is recorded here?

Purified a pneumococcal transforming fraction and presented chemical and enzymatic evidence that its activity resided principally in DNA.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The result concerns the tested bacterial transformation system and the detection limits of the methods. It does not alone resolve every mechanism of heredity.
