About this document

Z-DNA: Structure and Biological Role is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes research on left-handed Z-DNA structure and its biological function. It discusses how Z-DNA forms in vitro under conditions of negative supercoiling or high salt concentrations. It also reviews evidence that Z-DNA forms in vivo during processes like transcription that introduce negative supercoils into DNA. Experiments in prokaryotes and eukaryotes provide support that Z-DNA exists within living cells and is linked to transcriptional activity levels. The document considers the chall
