Abstract excerpt
The superhelical density of three Saccharomyces cerevisiae plasmids was determined with respect to a defined reference state during vegetative growth and stationary phase. The levels of supercoiling determined were approximately 20% lower than predicted by comparisons with SV40 DNA and reconstituted minichromosomes using histones from higher eukaryotes. In two different plasmids with the ARS1 origin of...
