Popis: Plasmid pGC20 containing the (dGC)??? insert in Sma1 recognition site has been used to study the inhibition of cleavage by different restriction endonucleases due to Z-DNA formation in (dCG)b10 sequence of the negatively supercoiled plasmid. Data obtained indicate the different sensitivity of restriction endonucleases to DNA conformational perturbations resulted from the Z-DNA formation. Therefore, the inhibition of DNA cleavage by a particular restriction endonucleases cannot serve as a criterion for the estimation of the length of B—Z junctions in circular supercoiled DNAs
