Abstract
The effect of a finite torque on semiflexible polymers in a confined environment is investigated. It is shown how a new lengthscale appears in the strongly confined limit. The influence of a torque on the extension of biopolymers in nanochannels is also touched upon and it is argued that the presence of a torque has a strong influence on the dimensions of nanochannels needed to prevent hairpins.
