On the distribution of pivots among C units of mammalian chromatids.
The paper discusses how a DNA strand contributes pivots that distributively interconnect the jaws of two or more C units of a chromatid stack. Rather than being static, the location of these pivots may be shifted according to alternative modes without compromising the chromatid's physical integrity.
