Abstract
We have considered here that the conformational properties of a DNA molecule can be mapped onto a Heisenberg spin system when spins are located on the axis forming an antiferromagnatic chain.This helps us to study the topological and elastic properties of a DNA molecule in terms of SU(2) gauge fields.The entanglement entropy of the spin system in a supercoil has been determined and it is pointed out that this effectively corresponds to the thermodynamic entropy.The model reproduces salient features of the Rod-Like-Chain model avoiding the "RLC model crisis".
