The structural and physical properties of DNA are closely related to its geometry and topology. The classical mathematical treatment of DNA geometry and topology in terms of ideal smooth space curves was not designed to characterize the spatial arrangements of atoms found in high-resolution and simulated double-helical structures. We present here new and rigorous numerical methods for the rapid and accurate assessment of the geometry and topology of double-helical DNA structures in terms of the ...[more]
