Abstract
A DNA molecule subjected to stretching or torsional stress can undergo cooperative phase transitions to new structures. For a supercoiled molecule, these structures coexist with canonical Watson-Crick B-DNA over a large range of forces and degrees of coiling. We will describe these stress-induced transitions and discuss the new structures and their possible biological relevance.
