DNA Topology
Type 2 Topoisomerases

April 20, 2015

I am very interested in understanding the mechanism of action of type-2 topoisomerases. I am currently modelling their DNA unknotting reaction. This project was inspired by our work on DNA packing in bacteriophages (Arsuaga et al. 2002) while working with Javier Arsuaga and Joaquim Roca (molecular biologist).

Difference Topology: extending the Tangle Model

April 16, 2015

Jointly with John Luecke and Isabel Darcy, I have analyzed data from novel difference topology experiments to unveil the structure of the Mu transpososome. The technique was developed in Rasika Harshey’s and Makkuni Jayaram’s lab, and the experiments were done by Shailja Pathania.

DNA Topology
Tangle Model for site-specific recombination

April 16, 2015

The tangle model is a mathematical method due to De Witt Sumners and Claus Ernst [Sumners et al. Quart. Rev. Biophysics 28, 3 (1995), 253 - 313], which uses knot theory and low-dimensional topology to understand the mechanisms of binding and strand-exchange by site-specific recombinases. A web description of the tangle model can be found here.
