Descriptive of the interaction of two DNA strands, either single- or double-stranded, in which an oligonucleotide of one strand is twisted into a plait of helices, one around the other, and requires the nicking of one strand to form or dissociate such an interaction. 1, record 1, English, - plectonemic
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
When one of the DNA strands is circular, the structure, a ring pierced by the linear strand, is called a hemicatenane. Plectonemic is contrasted with paranemic, descriptive of an interaction between DNA strands that is formed and dissociated without the breaking of covalent bonds and therefore constitutes a weaker interaction than a plectonemic joint. 1, record 1, English, - plectonemic
