Studies of supercoiling-induced denaturation within DNA plasmids using single-molecule Convex Lens-induced Confinement microscopy

Event Start:

2024-01-30T11:00:00

Event End:

Event Information:

Abstract: DNA, RNA and proteins, which drive life, have complicated, constantly changing structures. For example, DNA inside cells is supercoiled, and the amount of supercoiling is constantly under flux.
This supercoiling can drive structural transitions, such as AT-rich regions in under-twisted DNA denaturing under physiological conditions.

Event Location:

MSL room 226 with a hybrid option
