replication, transcription and the interaction with some specific proteins for single-stranded …

Large bubble drives circular DNA melting

S Sengupta, SM Bhattacharjee, G Mishra - Physical Chemistry …, 2024 - pubs.rsc.org
We investigate the melting transition of non-supercoiled circular DNA of different lengths,
employing Brownian dynamics simulations. In the absence of supercoiling, we find that …
