Here is a better view of a donut energy structure shown on my previous post. Using reverse image search on google images, it appeared 2 years ago and someone on instagram was using it to write about DNA super-coiling, but I don't think he created it.

A reverse image search reveals a donut-shaped energy diagram previously linked to DNA supercoiling, suggesting that biological helices might naturally

If you have a decent computer, you can right-click and choose open image in new tab, to look more closely. If it's DNA making an energy structure that works like a toroid donut, that's very cool by itself.
