Nonlinear dynamics of topological solitons in DNA

LV Yakushevich, AV Savin, LI Manevitch - Physical Review E, 2002 - APS
Dynamics of topological solitons describing open states in the DNA double helix are studied

Thermal denaturation of a helicoidal DNA model

M Barbi, S Lepri, M Peyrard, N Theodorakopoulos - Physical Review E, 2003 - APS
We study the static and dynamical properties of DNA in the vicinity of its melting transition, ie,
the separation of the two strands upon heating. The investigation is based on a simple …
