Covalent binding of osmium tetroxide to negatively supercoiled DNA in vitro initially induces its relaxation, accompanied by a formation of a single denaturation "bubble" per molecule. Binding of further osmium results in DNA overwinding and the appearance of positive supercoils as demonstrated by gel electrophoresis and electron microscopy.
在体外,四氧化锇与负超螺旋DNA的共价结合最初会使其松弛,同时每个分子形成一个单链变性“泡”。凝胶电泳和电子显微镜显示,进一步结合四氧化锇会导致DNA过度缠绕并出现正超螺旋。
