In a relaxed double helical segment of B DNA , the two strands twist around the helical axis once every 10.4 10.5 base pair s of DNA sequence sequence . Adding or subtracting twists, as some enzyme s can do, imposes strain. If a DNA segment under twist strain were closed into a circle by joining its two ends and then allowed to move freely, the circular DNA would contort into a new shape, such as a simple figure eight. Such a contortion is a supercoil . The simple figure eight is the simplest supercoil, and is the shape a circular DNA assumes to accommodate one ... about their axis.

Occurrence of DNA supercoiling DNA supercoiling is important for DNA packaging within all cells. Because the length of DNA can be thousands of times that of a cell, packaging this genetic material into the cell or nucleus in eukaryotes is a difficult feat.
