Twist-bend coupling, twist waves and the shape of DNA loops

By combining analytical and numerical calculations, we investigate the minimal-energy shape of short DNA loops of approximately \(100\) base pairs (bp). We show that in these loops the excess twist density oscillates as a response to an imposed bending stress, as recently found in DNA minicircles an...
