Time-dependent bending rigidity and helical twist of DNA by rearrangement of bound HU protein
HU is a protein that plays a role in various bacterial processes including compaction, transcription and replication of the genome. Here, we use atomic force microscopy to study the effect of HU on the stiffness and supercoiling of double-stranded DNA. First, we measured the persistence length, heig...
