Topological Process of Splitting DNA-Links

Abstract: A DNA replicon is modeled by a special type of 2-component link, called a DNA-link, in which two circles form a double helix around a trivial center core curve. The DNA replication process is semi-conservative, which is interpreted as a splitting process of the DNA-link. To split this non-trivial link, the linking number must become zero, and thus an unknotting operation is necessary. Some families of enzymes act as the unknotting operation. The present paper considers two topological problems; one is to know … Show more
