Re: biochemistry (Michael Boyle)

How does a hagfish package its foot-long microthreads to entangle with its slime? You pack the package, then you unpack the package by reversing the steps.

DNA doesn't just dump into a volume. It coils, supercoils, and wraps around histones to fit in compact volumes.

Why don't you look it up? Google.
