DNA holds the instructions for an organism’s development, reproduction, and, ultimately, death. It encodes much of the information a cell needs to survive and reproduce. It is important for inheritance and coding for proteins, and contains the genetic instruction guide for life and its processes.

Topological DNA target size model
Radiation and Environmental Biophysics, 1990This study presents a model that explains the difference in radiosensitivity between dividing and resting mammalian non-lymphoid tissue cells (liver, kidney, respiratory tract, muscle cells, neurons), based on the topological organization of DNA. In dividing cells, the target for radiation might be identified in replicon clusters or domains (7 X 10(8 ...

Topological Transformations of Synthetic DNA Knots
Biochemistry, 1995Two synthetic DNA molecules that can be knotted have been employed as substrates for E. coli DNA topoisomerases I and III. Both molecules contain 104 nucleotides, including sequences that can form two single-turn helical domains, connected by single-stranded oligo(dT) linkers in an X-Y-X'-Y' pairing motif. One of the knots can be ligated to form cyclic

Inhibitors of eubacterial and eucaryotic DNA topoisomerases II induce topological changes and/or DNA cleavage in the plasmids of halobacteria. As in eubacteria, novobiocin halts DNA replication and induces positive supercoiling of plasmids in halobacteria.

In this expository chapter we give an elementary introduction to DNA and to proteins that can knot and link circular DNA, with a special focus on recombination. We also describe the Ernst and Sumners tangle model of the action of proteins on circular DNA.

Changes in DNA topology during spermatogenesis
Chromosoma, 1986DNA topology in histone- and protamine-depleted nuclei (nucleoids) from somatic cells, sperm, and spermatogenic cells was studied to determine if the superhelical configuration of DNA looped domains is altered during spermatogenesis. The expansion and contraction of nucleoid DNA was measured with a fluorescence microscope following exposure of ...

DNA Topology in Heterochromatin (a Hypothesis)
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2000A hypothesis explaining the known heterochromatin features--a compact DNA packaging, transcriptional inactivity, propensity to aggregate (stickiness) and position effect variegation-is described. The hypothesis is based on the assumption that DNA molecules in heterochromatin are topologically open and contain single-strand breaks in the regions with ...

Topologically Non-linked Circular Duplex DNA
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2002The discovery of circular DNA, over 30 years ago, introduced an element of uneasiness in what had been, up to that point, the almost picture-perfect story of the elucidation of the molecular biology of heredity. If DNA indeed has the Watson-Crick right-handed helical secondary structure, then in circular DNA, thousands, or perhaps even millions of ...
