Knots modify the coil–stretch transition in linear DNA polymers

Knots modify the coil–stretch transition in linear DNA polymers

We perform single-molecule DNA experiments to investigate the relaxation dynamics of knotted polymers and examine the steady-state behavior of knotted polymers in elongational fields. The occurrence of a knot reduces the relaxation time of a molecule and leads to a shift in the molecule's coil-...
