[Calculation of the degree of superhelical DNA in model chromatin fibers].
Effect of the length of DNA internucleosome regions (L) on writhing number (Wr) was analysed. It has been shown that Wr(L) is a periodic function. In any period Wr decreases, if L increases. The process of chromatin activation is proposed. The value sigma is shown to be equal to -0.086 for certainly inactive and -0.107 for potentially active and active chromatin models.
