Two different ways of stress release in supercoiled DNA minicircles under DNA nick

YP Qiao, CL Ren, YQ Ma - The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2023 - ACS Publications
It is generally believed that DNA nick is an effective way to release stress in supercoiled
DNA, resulting from the twisting motion that individual strands rotate around the axis of the …
