  • Future work will concentrate in understanding how the subunits communicate around the ring to coordinate their sequential use of ATP and their DNA pumping activity. (elifesciences.org)
  • DNA knots occur in intracellular chromatin. (nih.gov)
  • The compounds stimulated the DNA cleavage thereby perturbing the cleavage-religation equilibrium. (iisc.ac.in)
  • OSUAB-185 induced single-stranded and suppressed double-stranded DNA breaks mediated by N. gonorrhoeae gyrase. (bvsalud.org)
  • Cutting antiparallel DNA strands in a single active site. (nih.gov)
  • Using DNA constructs with two neutral-backbone segments separated by a single charged base pair, we deduce that SpoIIIE's step size is 2 bp. (elifesciences.org)
  • Adenovirus is a double-stranded DNA virus, while adeno-associated virus is a single-stranded DNA virus. (pediaa.com)
  • Cas9 interrogates DNA in discrete steps modulated by mismatches and supercoiling. (stanford.edu)
