Biochemical Topology: Applications to DNA Recombination and Replication
Abstract
Processes of DNA rearrangement such as recombination or replication frequently have as products different subsets of the limitless number of distinguishable catenanes or knots. The use of gel electrophoresis and electron microscopy for analysis of these topological isomers has made it possible to deduce physical and geometric features of DNA structure and reaction mechanisms that are otherwise experimentally inaccessible. Quantitative as well as qualitative characterization is possible for any pathway in which the fate of a circular DNA can be followed. The history, theory, and techniques are reviewed and illustrative examples from recent studies are presented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
