چکیده

This paper draws a line from the elements of tangle fractions to the tangle model of DNA recombination. In the process, we sketch the classification of rational tangles, unoriented and oriented rational knots and the application of these subjects to DNA recombination.

MICROSOME-MEDIATED BENZO[A]PYRENE-DNA BINDING AND INHIBITION BY CYTOSOLIC FRACTIONS FROM LIVER AND SKIN OF ADULT AND WEANLING RATS

Biotransformation of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in the presence of microsomal fractions derived from liver and epiderm of adult and weanling rats was examined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of age on the capacity of two organs in transformation of BaP. Subcellular fractions were prepared from skin and liver by ultracentrifugation and were used as the source of BaP metabolizing enzy...

Topological tangle modeling of difference topology experiments: tangle analysis of DNA-protein complexes

An n-string tangle is a three dimensional ball with n strings which are properly embedded in it. Topological tangle analysis of DNA-protein complexes based on difference topology experiments are studied for last 30 years. In this paper, A 2-string tangle analysis of DNA-Tn3 complex [5, 6] and a 3-string tangle analysis of DNA-Mu complex [3, 13] and a biologically relevant 4-string tangle analys...

Classification of Tangle Solutions for Integrases, A Protein Family that Changes DNA Topology

Integrase proteins acting on circular double-stranded DNA often change its topology by transforming unknotted circles into torus knots and links. Two systems of tangle equations--corresponding to the two initial DNA sequences--arise when modelling this transformation: direct and inverted. With no a priori assumptions on the constituent tangles, we utilize Dehn surgery arguments to completely cl...

NUCL EAR DNA CONTENT AND DNA PLOIDY ANALYSIS IN BREAST CANCER

To investigate the patterns of DNA ploidy and proliferating activity in breast cancer and relate them to other prognostic factors, paraffin blocks of 53 cases of breast carcinoma were studied. Cancer cells obtained by mechanical tissue disaggregation were examined for DNA content, ploidy and S-phase fraction. DNA assay was done using a CAS interactive image analyzing system. All of the cas...
