Knots are discovered in biophysical systems,such as DNA and proteins.Knotted portions in knotted DNA are significantly bent and their corresponding bending angles are comparable with or larger than the sharp bending a...

The Chinese white wax scale insect, Ericerus pela, can survive at extremely low temperatures, and some overwintering individuals exhibit supercooling at tempera- tures below -30℃. To investigate the deep supercooling...
DNA is generally assumed as a right-handed double helix and Z-DNA is a special kind of left-handed DNA infrequently found in nature. However, the finding of a zero linking number topoisomer supports a hypothesis that ...
A large number of Chinese herbal drugs (CHDs) exhibit antibacterial activities both in vivo and in vitro, but until now little is known regarding their inhibitory mechanisms. Bacterial DNA gyrase is a proven target fo...

An 11.5-ku DNA binding protein, designated as Sshl2, was purified from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus shibatae by column chromatography in SP Sepharose, DNA cellulose and phosphocellulose. Sshl2 accounts fo...
In vivo DNA often appears in supercoiled states. This phenomenon is related to the constraints imposed on DNA structures, such as co-valenced ring closure, protein binding. When a certain amount of supercoiling isconf...
