Our recent work has been on partitioning of chromosome and the mechanism of topoisomerases and helicases as well as the structure and function of topologically constrained DNA. We have studied the requisite DNA-protein interactions in vitro and the physiological roles in vivo. Enzymological, mathematical, and genetic techniques are used to develop an integrated picture of the biochemistry and physiology of these systems.
