Thermo-switching of the conformation of genomic DNA in solutions of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)

We used poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) to control the conformation of genomic DNA by changing the temperature of a reaction solution and studied the DNA transition at the level of single DNA molecules. With this method, the conformation of long genomic DNA can be readily and reversibly switche...

Zusammenfassung:We used poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) to control the conformation of genomic DNA by changing the temperature of a reaction solution and studied the DNA transition at the level of single DNA molecules. With this method, the conformation of long genomic DNA can be readily and reversibly switched between a very compact condensate and an unfolded macromolecule
