A biophysical model of supercoiling dependent transcription predicts a structural aspect to gene regulation

BACKGROUND: Transcription in Escherichia coli generates positive supercoiling in the DNA, which is relieved by the enzymatic activity of gyrase. Recently published experimental evidence suggests that transcription initiation and elongation are inhibited by the buildup of positive supercoiling. It ha...
