Figure 4. Torsional persistence length from the simulations.
(A, C) DNA_default. (B, D) RNA_default. (A, B) Effective torsional persistence lengths at different stretching forces, fitted to Moroz-Nelson model. Only the last six points are used in the fit since Moroz-Nelson model is a high-force expansion. (C, D) Torque vs. the target link constraint plots in link-constrained simulations, at 7 pN stretching forces. Data are fitted to straight lines.
