Enzymatic cleaving of entangled DNA rings drives scale-dependent rheological trajectories

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Cleaving enzymes that linearize and chop up circular DNA elicit non-equilibrium rheological trajectories that are starkly different at small and large spatiotemporal scales due to time-varying contributions of entanglements, threading, and crowding.
