Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Plasmid DNA in exponentially growing Escherichia coli immediately relaxes after heat shock, and the relaxed state of DNA rapidly reverts to the original state with exposure to conditions of heat shock. We have now obtained genetic and biochemical evidence indicating that DnaK heat shock protein of E. coli, a prokaryotic homologue of hsp70, is involved in this re-supercoiling of DNA. As re-supercoiling of DNA did not occur in an rpoH amber mutant, it seems likely that heat shock proteins are required for this reaction. Plasmid DNA in a dnaK deletion mutant relaxed excessively after temperature shift-up, and the re-supercoiling of DNA was not observed. DNAs incubated with a crude cell extract prepared from the dnaK mutant were more relaxed than seen with the extract from its isogenic wild-type strain, and the addition of purified DnaK protein to the mutant extract led to an increase in the negative supercoiling of DNA. Moreover, reaction products of purified DNA gyrase more negatively supercoiled in the presence of DnaK protein. Based on these results, we propose that DnaK protein plays a role in maintaining the negative supercoiling of DNA against thermal stress.
