Plasmid Multimer Resolution

Plasmid Multimer Resolution is a genetic mechanism that belongs to the class of site-specific recombination systems and is distinguished by its ability to convert multimeric forms of plasmid DNA into monomeric units through the action of dedicated recombinase enzymes acting at specific resolution sites.
