For cleavage to occur, UmuD UmuD G25D dimer must first exchange in the presence of RecA:ssDNA, and any cleavage detected results from cleavage in trans. Cleavage is less efficient in this context, indicating that the decreased rate of cleavage in the trans dimers results from the time required for dimer exchange to first take place before cleavage can occur -, 731345
