Figure 3. — Probability distributions of the plectonemes’ length, l_plc and gyration radius, R_g, for supercoiled rings with (A) unknotted and (B) 5₁ topologies. The conditional probabilities for 1 to 3 plectonemes are shown with coloured histograms, see legend, while the normalised combined distribution is shown in grey. (C) Normalised joint probability distribution of R_g and knot length, l_k. (D) Marginal probability distribution of l_k.
