Figure 1

Extension of DNA molecule with a protein-induced local bend. The bend is localized at a DNA segment of 6 nm in length (red/dark). The simulated DNA conformation corresponds to a DNA fragment of 100 nm in length (much longer model chains were used for the simulations reported here). The DNA conformation shown was obtained for a stretching force of 0.2 pN.
