| Abstract | Permeabilized nuclei from mammalian cells encapsulated within agarose microbeads in an isotonic buffer are active in transcription and replication (Jackson, D. A., and P. R. Cook. 1985. EMBO (Eur. Mol. Biol. Organ.) J. 4:913-918). Their DNA is intact and the nuclei are accessible to macromolecules. Myeloma nuclei prepared in this way were used to probe the extent of DNA negative supercoiling and the effects of altering torsional strain by binding radioactively labeled monoclonal antibodies to Z-DNA. Control experiments used monoclonal antibodies against a nonhistone chromosomal protein, HMG-17. On increasing the amount of anti-HMG-17 added, a binding plateau was reached encompassing a 200-fold range of antibody concentration. On binding anti-Z-DNA antibody, a similar broad plateau of constant binding was found encompassing a 100-fold range of antibody concentration. The latter result was taken as a measure of preexisting Z-DNA in the nuclei. Additional anti-Z-DNA antibody binding can be "induced" in the presence of much higher concentration of antibody, apparently by perturbing the B-DNA/Z-DNA equilibrium. On inhibiting topoisomerase I with camptothecin, an elevated antibody binding plateau was found, suggesting that elastic torsional strain in the DNA is responsible for stabilizing the preexisting Z-DNA. This interpretation is supported by the fact that addition of small, nicking amounts of DNase I leads to a complete loss of antibody binding in the Z-DNA plateau region but not in the region of "induced" Z-DNA. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
