a Plots of P(L∣R) for different R values; R = 40 nm (red), R = 50 nm (blue), and R = 60 nm (green). Inset: Peak position (Lpeak) of P(L∣R), evaluated numerically by setting by dP(L∣R)/dL to zero, as a function of R. The dotted red line is a fit, \({L}_{{{{{{\rm{peak}}}}}}}=R\exp (aR)\) with a = 0.003 nm−1. b, c The distributions of L for different R and f. R = 40 nm (red), R = 50 nm (blue), and R = 60 nm (green). The dots are from Eq. (2) and the solid lines are the approximate probability distribution Eq. (3). We used the persistence length of DNA, \({l}_{{{{{{\rm{p}}}}}}}^{{{{{{\rm{DNA}}}}}}}=50\ {{{{{{{\rm{nm}}}}}}}}\).
