Overwinding in a stochastic model of an extended polymer

Description

We evaluate explicit expressions of length-dependent winding configuration probabilities for a biopolymer. The stochastic model incorporates several experimentally observed features. In particular, it exhibits overwinding under stretching forces until a critical length of the polymer is reached
