Insights into the Role of Nucleic Acid Structure and Topology in Controlling Condensation

DNA condensation is a fundamental process in all living organisms. The highly abundant nucleoid-associated proteins, HU and IHF, present in bacteria, have been shown to play an important role in shaping the nucleoid. However, the exact mechanism is not well understood. In this thesis, we have demons...
