Immobile DNA junction

A branched double-stranded DNA structure, a chi-form in which each of four polynucleotide chains is complementary to and base-paired with the 3'-end of one polynucleotide and the 5'-end of another; unlike in a recombination intermediate, the junction cannot migrate (i.e. slide its branch point along the duplex) without breaking many more Watson-Crick base-pair hydrogen bonds as it advances than can re-form behind it.
