The Twisted Circular Form of Polyoma Viral DNA

  • Chapter
The Biology of DNA Tumor Viruses

Part of the book series: Milestones in Current Research ((MCR))

  • 36 Accesses

Abstract

The major part of the DNA from polyoma virus has been shown to consist of circular base-paired duplex molecules without chain ends.1–3 The intertwined circular form accounts for the ease of renaturation4 of this DNA and the failure of the strands to separate in strand-separating solvents.1–3
