## Abstract The number of constraint turns is defined as the number of bound unwinding ligands converted in turns necessary to relax the energy stored in a supercoiled DNA. It is equal to the sum of the twist and of the writhing and is interpreted geometrically. The twist is shown to be related to
Using some isotropic, intrinsically curved elasticas as examples, this paper presents an argument elucidating that the elasticas buckle immediately as they are subjected to a terminal twist. Not only does the result proven here generalize the previous understanding of the most simplest O-ring elasti
