Chiral theory of DNA supercoiling

DNA supercoiling is a fundamental biological process occurring in all cells. We developed a theory of braiding (supercoiling) of a pair of DNA molecules that takes into account the contribution of the bending and the electrostatic energy. The electrostatic interaction was calculated within the frame...
