DNAVerknotung
DNAVerknotung is a term that refers to the process by which DNA molecules become entangled or knotted. This phenomenon can occur during various cellular processes, such as DNA replication, transcription, and recombination. The physical entanglement of DNA can pose significant challenges for these processes, potentially leading to stalled replication forks, DNA damage, or impaired gene expression.
Cells have evolved sophisticated molecular machinery to manage and resolve DNA entanglements. Key players in this
The study of DNAVerknotung is important for understanding fundamental cellular mechanisms and for developing therapeutic strategies.
