Writhe formulas and antipodal points in plectonemic DNA configurations
S. Neukirch, E. L. Starostin
The linking and writhing numbers are key quantities when characterizing the structure of a piece of supercoiled DNA. Defined as double integrals over the shape of the double-helix,…

Mechanical response of plectonemic DNA: an analytical solution
N. Clauvelin, B. Audoly, S. Neukirch
We consider an elastic rod model for twisted DNA in the plectonemic regime. The molecule is treated as an impenetrable tube with an effective, adjustable radius. The model is solve…
