The B – A transition in superhelical DNA
Relaxation of a DNA superhelical stress due to the B to A transition induced by trifluoroethanol has been studied by assessing the change of DNA orientation in a flow gradient. Using DNAs of different superhelical densities, a decrease in the winding angle during the B----A shift of DNA was found to be 1.5 degrees per base pair in solution.

Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) bind DNA through an array of tandem 34-residue repeats. How TALE repeat domains wrap around DNA, often extending more than 1.5 helical turns, without using external energy is not well understood.

Snf2 family ATPases and DExx box helicases:differences and unifying concepts from high-resolution crystal structures [PDF]
Proteins with sequence similarity to the yeast Snf2 protein form a large family of ATPases that act to alter the structure of a diverse range of DNA-protein structures including chromatin. Snf2 family enzymes are related in sequence to DExx box helicases,

Nucleosome-CHD4 chromatin remodeler structure maps human disease mutations
Chromatin remodeling plays important roles in gene regulation during development, differentiation and in disease. The chromatin remodeling enzyme CHD4 is a component of the NuRD and ChAHP complexes that are involved in gene repression.

Interaction of the Escherichia coli HU Protein with Various Topological Forms of DNA
E. coli histone-like protein HU has been shown to interact with different topological forms of DNA. Using radiolabeled HU, we examine the effects of DNA supercoiling on HU–DNA interactions.

Padlock oligonucleotides as a tool for labeling superhelical DNA [PDF]
Labeling of a covalently closed circular double-stranded DNA was achieved using a so-called 'padlock oligonucleotide'. The oligonucleotide was targeted to a sequence which is present in the replication origin of phage f1 and thus in numerous commonly used plasmids.

H-NS forms a superhelical protein scaffold for DNA condensation [PDF]
The histone-like nucleoid structuring (H-NS) protein plays a fundamental role in DNA condensation and is a key regulator of enterobacterial gene expression in response to changes in osmolarity, pH, and temperature.
