In the absence of writhe, DNA relieves torsional stress with localized, sequence-dependent structural failure to preserve B-form

To understand how underwinding and overwinding the DNA helix affects its structure, we simulated 19 independent DNA systems with fixed degrees of twist using molecular dynamics in a system that does not allow writhe. Underwinding DNA induced spontaneous, sequence-dependent base flipping and local de...
