Tertiary Structure: Supercoiled DNA. L = T + W L = Linkage Number number of crossings in planar projection T = Topological winding number- (e.g, number of bp/ 10.5 for B-DNA) W = Writhing number- number of turns the duplex axis makes around itself

Tertiary Structure: Supercoiled DNA • L = T + W • L = Linkage Number • number of crossings in planar projection • T = Topological winding number- • (e.g, number of bp/ 10.5 for B-DNA) • W = Writhing number- number of turns the duplex axis makes around itself • At the left W = 0 so L = T = 26 Figure 29-18 Schematic diagram of covalently closed circular duplex DNA that has 26 double helical turns.
