Transcribed Guanine-rich RNA Aggregates on Template DNA and Changes Its Conformation
The direct visualization of transcribed RNA-dependent DNA structural change by atomic force microscopy revealed that guanine-rich RNA acts as a molecular switch for changing DNA conformation and the changed DNA structure is stably maintained, suggesting the possibility that DNA can memorize past transcription action in terms of shape
