Abstract
We determine the phase diagram of DNA with inter- and intrastrand native-pair interactions that mimic the compaction of DNA. We show that DNA takes an overall sheetlike structure in the region where an incipient transition to a compact phase would have occurred. The stability of this phase is due to the extra entropy from the folding of the sheet, which is absent in the remaining polymerlike states of the phase diagram.
