Helicoidal Peyrard–Bishop model of DNA dynamics

S Zdravković - Journal of Nonlinear Mathematical Physics, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
A nonlinear model describing DNA dynamics, called helicoidal Peyrard–Bishop model, is
described. It is shown that the model can explain a local opening of a DNA helix during …
