A Model Of Dna Knotting And Linking, Erica Flapan, Dorothy Buck
Pomona Faculty Publications and Research
We present a model of how DNA knots and links are formed as a result of a single recombination event, or multiple rounds of (processive) recombination events, starting with an unknotted, unlinked, or a (2,m)-torus knot or link substrate. Given these substrates, according to our model all DNA products of a single recombination event or processive recombination fall into a single family of knots and links.
