We predict the existence of two novel conformations - the stripey torus and the figure eight, and examine the stability of these theoretically.Keywords: Bending (deformation); Brownian movement; Computer simulation; Conformations; DNA; Free energy; Interfacial energy; Rigidity; Solvents; Spheres; Theorem proving; Brownian dynamics simulations; DNA condensation in poor solvent; Semiflexible block copolymer Brownian dynamics simulations; DNA condensation in poor solvent; Semiflexible block copolymers200410.1016/j.physa.2004.03.0602015-12-11
