Abstract

Direct observation of DNA topological intermediates generated from a 'chemical nuclease' treatment has been made by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The intermediates were trapped at the mica-water interface and imaging was carried out in the dynamic force mode. Complete conversion from supercoiled circular state to relaxed circular/linear state has been observed over a time scale of 8 min. Implication of such studies in complementing gel electrophoresis data has been predicted.
