Abstract
In the presence of spermidine, the DNA molecule of the bacteriophage l ambda undergoes a coil-globule transition. We report here that the cyc lization of this molecule in its globular state is greatly accelerated (by more than 10(4)-fold) in comparison with the cyclization reaction taking place in the coil conformation.
