THE DETAILS. “One of the main features of Z-DNA, however, is that it twists the double helix in the opposite sense of B-DNA. Negative supercoiling stabilizes Z-DNA. However, if a large segment of Z-DNA then converts back into B-DNA, it will impart considerable twist to the DNA and further increase its negative supercoiling. A change in the supercoiling would be evident not only nearby but also at considerable distance away from the DNA.”
