Article: In vivo distribution of ribonucleic acid polymerase between cytoplasm and nucleoid in Escherichia coli

Three forms of ribonucleic acid polymerase can be distinguished in exponentially growing Escherichia coli cells: (i) active, (ii) inactive, inside the nucleoid, and (iii) inactive, free in the cytoplasm.
