The nuclear matrix has a role in the organization and function of nuclear DNA. A combination of stable and transient interactions between chromatin and the nuclear matrix is involved in organizing DNA within the nucleus. DNA sequences (matrix attachment regions) at the base of a loop bind to nuclear

โฆ Synopsis
The specificity of eukaryotic DNA organization into loops fixed to the nuclear matrixkhromosomal scaffold has been studied for more than fifteen years. The results and conclusions of different authors remain, however, controversial. Recently, we have elaborated a new approach to the study of chromosomal DNA loops. Instead of characterizing loop basements (nuclear matrix DNA), we have concentrated our efforts on the characterization of individual loops after their excision by DNA topoisomerase Il-mediated DNA cleavage at matrix attachment sites. In this review the results of applying this mapping approach are compared with the results and conclusions from studies of nuclear matrix DNA. An attempt is also made to reconsider all data about the specificity of DNA interactions with the nuclear matrix and to suggest a model of spatial organization of the eukaryotic genome which

The diagonal structure of the S-matrix in the Lee model is studied. The N28-and N3B-type eigenvalues are shown to factor exactly into the products of the corresponding NB eigenvalues, and it follows that these eigenvalues are free of production thresholds. The (implicit) eigenvalue equation for the
In this paper we give the explicit solution to a coupled-channel problem consisting of two open channels coupled by a separable interaction. It is shown that the cross sections exhibit one rather narrow anomaly which displaces to higher energies as the coupling is increased and at the same time its
The nuclear matrix (NM) contains a number of proteins that have been found to be associated with transformation. We have previously identified changes in the NM associated with prostate cancer. In this study, we examine the molecular changes that are associated with prostate cancer development in tr
