Roles:
ARG0-PAG: cause of supercoiling
ARG1-PPT: DNA
ARG2-MNR: direction of twist (positive/negative, over/underwound)
ARG3-VSP: twist measurement, Tw (number of twists)
ARG4-MNR: writhe configuration (toroid/plectonemic, figure 8)
ARG5-VSP: writhe measurement, Wr
ARG6-VSP: degree of supercoiling (This is a specific measurment, σ=ΔLk/Lk˳ where Lk is the sum of Wr and Tw)
