Torsional Directed Walks, Entropic Elasticity, and DNA Twist Stiffness

DNA and other biopolymers differ from classical polymers due to their torsional stiffness. This property changes the statistical character of their conformations under tension from a classical random walk to a problem we call the `torsional directed walk'. Motivated by a recent experiment on si...
