The rate of cyclization of lambda DNA varies over more than 6 orders of magnitude, from 3.2 x 10(-7) s-1 to 2 s-1, in a Tris-EDTA buffer as a function of spermidine concentration. This variation is strictly correlated with the conformation of the chain. The highest rates are obtained when the chain is collapsed into a dense globular state. The effective concentration of the chain ends in the reaction is then 87 000-fold greater than in the random coil state. These results show that DNA globularity must be taken into account to understand biological processes involving intramolecular DNA-DNA interactions.
