摘要:
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) observations made on pBR322 DNA are compared with methods known to give information on DNA intrinsic curvature: polyacrylamide gel retardation, electron microscopy and computer modeling. It is concluded that STM is a powerful method for studying DNA structural features. Moreover, it is the only method to reveal simultaneously nanometric scale detail and long‐range information. Use of STM for analyzing fine DNA structural features in regions involved in gene regulation should make an important contribution to genetics.
