## Abstract Despite the existence of numerous models to account for the B–Z DNA transition, experimenters have not yet arrived at a conclusive answer to the structural and dynamical features of the B–Z transition. By applying the stochastic difference equation to simulate the B–Z DNA transition, we
We examine the salt dependence of the B-Z transition in DNA by means of the counterion condensation theory adapted to structurally realistic coordinates of the phosphate groups. The ionic contribution to the free energy difference AG is computed for both the Z1 and ZII conformations over broad rang
