Topological Linkage of DNA Tiles Bonded by Paranemic Cohesion
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Catenation is the process by which cyclic strands are combined like the links of a chain, whereas knotting changes the linking properties of a single strand. In the cell, topoisomerases catalyzing strand passage operations enable the knotting and catenation of DNA so that single- or double-stranded segments can be passed through each other. Here, we use a system of closed DNA structures involving a paranemic motif, called PX-DNA, to bind double strands of DNA together. These PX-cohesive closed molecules contain complementary loops whose linking by Escherichia coli topoisomerase 1 (Topo 1) leads to various types of catenated and knotted structures. We were able to obtain specific DNA topological constructs by varying the lengths of the complementary tracts between the complementary loops. The formation of the structures was analyzed by denaturing gel electrophoresis, and the various topologies of the constructs were characterized using the program Knotilus.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
