The equilibrium shapes of supercoiled DNA are investigated by employing an elastic model. First, a set of Euler equations is derived to determine the equilibrium shapes under ring-closure conditions. Two exact solutions that describe circular and figure-8 shapes are obtained. Using these and their t
## Abstract Covalently closed circular DNA can exist in different configurations known as __circular__, __toroidal__, and __interwound__. Changes among these forms can be made in several ways, including the insertion of dye molecules between adjacent base pairs, which tends to untwist the double‐he
