  1. αThe drug concentration at the coalescence point indicates when the OC plasmid migrates at the same position as the SC I form. The rb (c) values represent the drug to nucleotide ratio at the coalescence point. For all experiments, the amount of nucleotide sample incubated with each compound was 1 × 10− 9 mol. All values in the table were averaged from three separate experiments and are shown with their respective SEM values
