Stress-induced structural transitions in DNA and proteins

T R Strick et al. Annu Rev Biophys Biomol Struct. 2000.

Abstract

The ability to manipulate, stretch and twist biomolecules opens the way to an understanding of their structural transitions. We review some of the recently discovered stress-induced structural transitions in DNA as well as the application of single molecule manipulation techniques to DNA unzipping and to the study of protein folding/unfolding transitions.
