Restriction fragments containing either leut (a rho-independent transcription termination site) and/or leut' (a rho-dependent transcription termination site) were cloned into plasmid pOL4. Treatment of plasmid-containing Escherichia coli strains with coumermycin resulted in loss of in vivo plasmid s

## Synopsis A quantity, called the linking number, is defined, which specifies the total number of t,wists in a circular helix. The linking number is invariant under continuous deformations of the ring and therefore enables one to calculate the influence of superhelical structures on the secondary
Spectroscopic and calorimetric melting studies of 28 DNA hairpins were performed. These hairpins form by intramolecular folding of 16 base self-complementary DNA oligomer sequences. Sequence design dictated that the hairpin structures have a six base pair duplex linked by a four base loop and that t
A method of calculating both the electrostatic free energy and enthalpy changes for melting of DNA is proposed. The nonelectrostatic parts of free energy and enthalpy changes for melting of DNA are obtained by huhtracting these electrostatic free-energy and enthalpy changes from the total free-energ
Theoretical melting curves were calculated for four DNA restriction fragments, 157-257 base pairs (bp), and a series of hypothetical block DNAs with sequences d(C2\*AZC&). d(G&T,G&), 5 I n I 40. These DNAs provided a mixture of A-T/G-C sequence distributions with which to investigate the effects of
