FIGURE 9.
Twist energy parameter, ET, versus residual linking difference of the duplex region. The solid or shaded symbols apply to values that are determined from the
and
of the simulated molecules according to Eq. 19. These
values apply for n = 1 (shaded circles) or n = 2 (▾) melted subunits. The open symbols represent the same
values that appear in Fig. 8 for n = 0 (□), n = 1 (○), or n = 2 (▿) melted subunits out of 155 total subunits.
