Supercoiling transitions of closed DNA
Physical Review E, 1994Conformations of closed DNA molecules are considered within a simple elastic model. The interplay of elastic energies of bending and twisting can lead to supercoiling induced by variations of the linking difference. These shape transformations are studied in the limit of a large length to thickness ratio of the molecule.

Local Supercoil-Stabilized DNA Structure
Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1991The DNA double helix exhibits local sequence-dependent polymorphism at the level of the single base pair and dinucleotide step. Curvature of the DNA molecule occurs in DNA regions with a specific type of nucleotide sequence periodicities. Negative supercoiling induces in vitro local nucleotide sequence-dependent DNA structures such as cruciforms, left ...
