Covalently closed circles of adenovirus 5 DNA
Abstract
The genome of adenoviruses is a double-stranded linear DNA molecule with inverted terminal repeats about 100 base pairs (bp) in length1,2 and a terminal protein covalently linked to the 5′ nucleotide of each strand3,4. Both of these features permit the formation of DNA circles, the inverted repeats allowing the circularization of single-stranded DNA5,6 and the terminal protein the joining of one or more molecules to yield double-stranded …
