FIG. 1.
Modeled knot reduction factor (RK) for 3.5 kb DNA circles varies with [NaCl] for selective segment passages (insets) at the hooked (dots) or the half-hooked (squares) juxtaposition. Throughout this paper, each data point was simulated using 6 × 108–3 × 109 attempted chain moves; curves through data points are merely guides for the eyes.
