Calculations of the three-state coexistence in a 7.0-kbps DNA molecule at 0.7 pN and different linking number densities. (A) The distribution of basepairs in each state. (B) The distribution of linking numbers in each state. The sum of linking numbers converges to the total linking number ΔLk (shaded). (C) The torque present in the DNA molecule calculated between 0.1 and 2.5 pN. (D) The distribution of melted basepairs. (Error bars) Standard deviation. To see this figure in color, go online.
