In this review, we provide an overview of entangled proteins. Around 6% of protein
structures deposited in the PBD are entangled, forming knots, slipknots, lassos and links. We …

The structure of classical minimal prime knot presentations suggests that there are often,
perhaps always, subsegments that present either the trefoil or the figure-eight knot. A …

In the 1980's, knotting in DNA became a fundamental research dimension in the study of the
mechanisms by which enzymes act on it. Later, the first compelling identification of knotting …

The discovery of knotting in proteins and other macromolecular chains has motivated
researchers to more carefully consider how to identify and classify knots in open arcs. Most …

Understanding the mechanism by which a polypeptide chain thread itself spontaneously to
attain a knotted conformation has been a major challenge in the field of protein folding …

Traditional topological knot theory mainly studies knotting within closed curves. However,
much of what people consider knotting in everyday life, eg in shoelaces, involve tangled …
