[i] Transformation efficiency of pYEXTSH3 constructs (A–C) and the control plasmid pYEXT2HIS3 in Saccharomyces cerevisiaeGRF18 is shown to be dependent on concentration of CuSO4. The efficiencies are given in cfu/μg DNA.

[ii] (RF+), insert in frame with HIS3.

[iii] (RF), insert not in frame with HIS3.
