Abstract

The interplay between twisting of DNA generated by active DNA-twisting enzymes, and the stability of proteins that, in their binding to DNA, constrain DNA twist, was examined. As a result, conditions under which twist-constraining proteins bound to DNA can be removed by torque were estimated.
