Moebius
editIst the mentioned odd twisting, giving a Moebius strip, really possible? AFAIK the two strands run in opposite directions, so the covalent closure would need to connect 3' with 3' ends or 5' with 5'. --Ralf Muschall (talk) 11:29, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
In the meantime, I found the paper "Folding and cutting DNA into reconfigurable topological nanostructures" by Han et al., October 2010, (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3071358/pdf/nihms-281554.pdf). They made a Moebius configuration using DNS, but this is a wide tape make of many parallel "wires", each being a double-strand DNA, so the problem should not appear. --Ralf Muschall (talk) 15:39, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Suggestion
editCircular DNA is also found in the form of plasmid DNA. I feel as though you should mention that form of DNA because it is circular. Then perhaps give an example of organisms with plasmid DNA. Arjbajarj (talk) 05:48, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
Conversion to dab
editThis page has previously been a short article and then a redirect, but per consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology#Circular DNA, I've converted it to a disambiguation page. Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 13:44, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
