Poisson–Boltzmann predictions of the effect of DNA twist on counterion concentrations. According to the calculations, the charge density of the helix decreases with decreasing twist thereby reducing the counterion condensation. These calculations assumed an ionic strength of 150 mM. Lk is calculated assuming the helix is a fragment of a 339 bp minicircle.
