Non-helical models of DNA structure

In the history of molecular biology, non-helical or "side-by-side" models of DNA were proposed in the 1970s as a challenge to the standard double-helical model. The non-helical models attempted to solve problems relating to the topology of circular DNA chromosomes during replication. These theories were briefly considered seriously as a minority viewpoint, but they were later largely rejected due to X-ray crystallography of DNA duplexes and later the nucleosome core particle, as well as the discovery of topoisomerases, and these non-double-helical models are not currently accepted by the mainstream scientific community.
==Terminology==

The strands of a helical DNA duplex, if covalently closed into a circular structure, are topologically linked, and thus cannot be separated without breaking one or both strands. This sort of structure is referred to as "plectonemic". In circular DNA replication, these twists must be removed for the daughter strands to separate. In contrast, the strands of a non-helical DNA duplex would be topologically non-linked, and can be separated without strand breakage. This sort of structure is referred to as "paranemic".〔
Note that the term "non-helical" refers to ''net'' helicity - there can be no helical twist at all, as in the figure at the top of this article, or there could be an equal number of right-handed and left-handed twists, as in the Rodley structure below. The abbreviation "TN", to be used to refer to any DNA structure whose strands are topologically non-linked, has been proposed.
