Enzymatic cleaving of entangled DNA rings drives scale-dependent rheological trajectories

Soft Matter, 2024, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/D3SM01641B, PaperPhilip Neill, Natalie Crist, Ryan McGorty, Rae Robertson-Anderson Cleaving enzymes that linearize and chop up circular DNA elicit non-equilibrium rheological trajectories that are starkly different at small and large spatiotemporal scales due to time-varying contributions of entanglements, threading, and crowding.
