Heterogeneity and chaos in the Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois DNA model
arXiv:1811.06689 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.99.022213
Abstract
We discuss the effect of heterogeneity on the chaotic properties of the Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois nonlinear model of DNA. Results are presented for the maximum Lyapunov exponent and the deviation vector distribution. Different compositions of adenine-thymine (AT) and guanine-cytosine (GC) base pairs are examined for various energies up to the melting point of the corresponding sequence. We also consider the effect of the alternation index, which measures the heterogeneity of the DNA chain through the number of alternations between different types (AT or GC) of base pairs, on the chaotic behavior of the system. Biological gene promoter sequences have been also investigated, showing no distinct behavior of the maximum Lyapunov exponent.
