## Abstract This paper analyzes equilibrium superhelical cruciform formation in a topologial domain of DNA containing inverted repeat sequences. The cruciform conformation is shown to be stable when the molecule is sufficiently negatively supercoiled but not when it is positively supercoiled. For a
