We study nonlinear dynamics of the DNA molecule relying on a helicoidal Peyrard-Bishop model. We look for traveling wave solutions and show that a continuum approximation brings about kink solitons moving along the chain. This statement is supported by the numerical solution of a relevant dynamical equation of motion. Finally, we argue that an existence of both kinks and localized modulated solitons (breathers) could be a useful tool to describe DNA-RNA transcription.
我们研究了依赖于螺旋佩亚尔-毕晓普模型的 DNA 分子的非线性动力学。我们寻找行波解,并表明连续体近似会产生沿着链移动的扭结孤子。这一说法得到了相关运动方程数值解的支持。最后,我们认为扭结和局域调制孤子(呼吸子)的存在可能是描述 DNA-RNA 转录的有用工具。
