Modeling the interaction of DNA with alternating fields
arXiv:1303.1373 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.87.022703
Abstract
We study the influence of a THz field on thermal properties of DNA molecules. A Peyrard- Bishop-Dauxois model with the inclusion of a solvent interaction term is considered. The THz field is included as a sinusoidal driven force in the equation of mo tion. We show how under certain field and system parameters, melting transition and bubble formation are modified.
