S. Merlin et B. Polisky, ASSESSMENT OF QUANTITATIVE MODELS FOR PLASMID COLE1 COPY NUMBER CONTROL, Journal of Molecular Biology, 248(2), 1995, pp. 211-219
Two quantitative models of plasmid ColE1 copy number control are compa
red with respect to mathematical logic of derivation and application t
o experimental observations. Explanatory background material and clari
fications are supplied for selected aspects of each model. Contrasting
features are emphasized and experiments are suggested to distinguish
between predictions of the models.
