Dna Bending

DNA Bending is a structural phenomenon in which the double helix of DNA deviates from its canonical linear conformation due to localized distortions induced by protein interactions, sequence-specific motifs, or environmental factors, resulting in a curved or bent geometry that influences genomic processes such as transcription, replication, and packaging.
