Cruciform DNA is a form of non-B DNA, or an alternative DNA structure. The formation of cruciform DNA requires the presence of palindromes called inverted...

breaks. In addition, cruciform structures involving Holliday junctions can arise to relieve helical strain in symmetrical sequences in DNA supercoils. While...

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA and mDNA) is the DNA located in the mitochondria organelles in a eukaryotic cell that converts chemical energy from food into...

repeats can play structural roles in DNA and RNA by forming stem loops and cruciforms. For humans, some repeated DNA sequences are associated with diseases...

and cruciform, and finally direct tandem repeats, which commonly exist in structures described as slipped-loop, cruciform and left-handed Z-DNA. Past...

The protein binds to cruciform DNA and DNA coiled into a superhelix, thereby inducing positive supercoils into closed circular DNA. It is also involved...
