(a) Magnetic bead winding measures force vs extension curves for single 17 μm DNA molecules based on fraction of supercoiling (σ). (b) Positively supercoiled DNA exhibits a transition to slower extension at forces greater than 3 pN, whereas (c) a similar transition occurs for negatively supercoiled DNA at 0.45 pN. Adapted from ref (6).
