How is DNA supercoiling in bacteria regulated.

[daemon at net.bio.net]

I agree with you Martin, there MUST be a connection between intrinsic
sequence-dependent DNA shape (bent DNA), level of supecoiling (shape
induced by proteins, like topo....) and gene expression... 
Someone just needs to illustrate this nicely...

I believe Chris Higgins and David Ussery work in this field.  They also
are located in the U.K.

All the best,
