  The RING in DNA - Genetically Going in Circles May Eventually Turn You Inside OUT!-the academic view
DNA carries the "codes" for the structural proteins and enzymes which give an organism its characteristics, and these codes must be passed from generation to generation.
DNA solutions are gooey, and when a glass rod is dipped into DNA and raised up in the air, the sticky liquid is drawn into a thin thread.
The failure of the two strands of circular DNA to separate under "melting" conditions made it possible for the scientific community to evade this obvious conclusion for many years, but the days of the "double-helix" as the presumed structure of DNA in living system are, in all probability, numbered.

  DNA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DNA is a long polymer of nucleotides (a polynucleotide) and encodes the sequence of the amino acid residues in proteins using the genetic code, a triplet code of nucleotides.
DNA is often referred to as the molecule of heredity as it is responsible for the genetic propagation of most inherited traits.
DNA profiling was developed in 1984 by English geneticist Sir Alec Jeffreys of the University of Leicester, and was first used to convict Colin Pitchfork in 1988 in the Enderby murders case in Leicestershire, England.

 DNA Supercoiling as a Pattern for Understanding Psycho-social Twistedness
DNA is a double stranded molecule composed of two polarized strands (of deoxyribonucleotide polymers) which run in opposite directions (termed antiparallel) and wind around a central, common axis -- one is entwined about the other such that an overall helical shape results (known as a plectonemic helix).
DNA denaturation (or "melting") is due to the breakage of the hydrogen bonds in the Watson-Crick base-pairs, and is therefore reversible.
DNA breathing and the lability of local stretches of the DNA double-helix is essential for numerous physiological processes such as the association of single-strand binding proteins, and the initiation of replication and transcription.

 Circular DNA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Circular DNA is a form of DNA found in bacteria and other archaea.
While the individual strands of a linear double helix represent two distinct and separable molecules, this need not be true for circular DNA.
If the strands twist an odd number of times around one another in completing the DNA loop, then they are covalently joined into a single molecule.

The investigation includes DNA morphology and DNA interaction with other molecules, which broadens our understanding of life processes and mechanisms.1,2 Immobilizing DNA is key to imaging it by AFM.
It is difficult to obtain circular DNA because plasmid DNA exists in a surperhelical form under normal conditions.
Generally, the methods of heating DNA solution and topoisomerase are used to obtain circular DNA.3 However, heating in water makes it easy to denature DNA, and using topoisomerase to obtain circular DNA is costly and time consuming.

 Is Native DNA A Helix?
If DNA has the TN structure, as is suggested by the studies of Wu and Wu, then common sense suggests that subjecting it to conditions promoting denaturation ought to yield a population of single-stranded circles.
In the Pauling and Corey paper, DNA was held to be a three-stranded structure with the phosphate groups in the center, close-packed into tetrahedral formations, giving rise to a helix with the required pitch of 34 angstroms.
Circular duplex DNA with the Watson-Crick double helical structure, when constrained to lie in a plane, may be depicted as in the drawing on the left (A).

 Wu structure of DNA
After the discovery of circular DNA, however, the Wu model suddenly became a possible structure for DNA in the real world, since superhelically-wound circular DNA is, in effect, a four-stranded structure consisting of two Watson-Crick-type duplexes wound together.
However, one strand of the plasmid DNA is the sense strand and one the antisense strand.
Then DNA replication-intermediate structures are not present to complicate the separation of the strands by intermediate structures of various sizes.

Many of these DNA containing entities will be examined here to provide the necessary background to understand and appreciate the application of Mathematical Linguistics to the (mostly circular) DNA discussed.
Bacteria typically do not contain a nucleus, their DNA is located in cytoplasmic plasmids (typically circular in form, not linear, but there are exceptions as always: there are linear forms).
Viroids are covalently bound circular RNA, that differ from viruses and viral satellite RNA in that they exist in unencapsulated form and do not code for any proteins (they utilize host proteins for most biological functions such as replication, thus may be viewed as minimal parasites).
