The dynamics of recoil of DNA-bead initially stretched by a 6-pN force. Both extension and time are normalized by the contour length (L) of the DNA. Even though the naked DNA curves (bullets, triangles and squares) correspond to slightly different lengths, in the normalized variables they coincide within experimental error. The recoil is much slower when DNA is fully covered with RecA-ATP[γS] (diamonds).
