Abstract
The mathematical model of mutational process in bacteria Escherichia coli induced by ultra-violet radiation is developed. The dynamics of the basic protein complexes of the E. coli SOS-response system is investigated. The probability of mutations occurring during translesion-synthesis is estimated.
