A theory for thermomechanical behavior of homogeneous DNA at thermal equilibrium predicts critical temperatures for denaturation under torque and stretch, phase diagrams for stable B-DNA, supercoiling, optimally stable torque, and the overstretching transition as force-induced DNA melting. Agreement with available single molecule manipulation experiments is excellent.
一个关于热平衡状态下均一 DNA 的热力学行为的理论,预测了在扭矩和拉伸下变性的临界温度、稳定 B-DNA 的相图、超螺旋、最优稳定扭矩,以及力诱导 DNA 熔解的超拉伸转变。与现有的单分子操纵实验吻合得极好。
