AmiGO 2: Term Details for "DNA geometric change" (GO:0032392)

Accession: GO:0032392
Name: DNA geometric change
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: None
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The process in which a transformation is induced in the geometry of a DNA double helix, resulting in a change in twist, writhe, or both, but with no change in linking number. Includes the unwinding of double-stranded DNA by helicases. Source: GOC:mah
Comment: Note that DNA geometric change and DNA topological change (GO:0006265) are distinct, but are usually coupled in vivo.
