Time evolution of the radius of gyration of the plasmid molecule (3D simulations). (Bottom plot) Time evolution of the radius of gyration of the plasmid molecule for single simulations with G = 2 kBT and G = 4 kBT. (Insets above plot) Conformations of the plasmid molecule at t = 5.5 ms, 6.5 ms, and 7.5 ms for G = 2 kBT (top row) and G = 4 kBT (second row). H-NS dimers are not shown for clarity.
