Conformational and migrational dynamics of slipped-strand DNA three-way junctions containing trinucleotide repeats

DNA three-way junctions are branched structures formed during replication, repair, and recombination, and are involved in models of repeat expansion. Here the authors use single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer to reveal the dynamics of DNA three-way junctions containing slip-outs composed...

Description
Summary:DNA three-way junctions are branched structures formed during replication, repair, and recombination, and are involved in models of repeat expansion. Here the authors use single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer to reveal the dynamics of DNA three-way junctions containing slip-outs composed of CAG or CTG repeats.
