... DISCUSSION AND OPEN PROBLEMS This chapter has described how DNA sequences can be analyzed to determine one biologically important attribute the relative susceptibility of regions in the molecule to superhelical destabilization. The last section indicated how correlations between destabilized sites and DNA regulatory regions illuminate the mechanisms of activity of such regions.
