Dna Flexibility

DNA Flexibility is a biophysical property of the DNA molecule that characterizes its ability to undergo deformations such as bending, twisting, or stretching in response to mechanical or protein-mediated forces, distinguishing it from static structural models by quantifying the dynamic mechanical behavior of the double helix within chromatin architecture.
