Unzipping Dynamics of Long DNAs
S. Cocco, R. Monasson, J. F. Marko
The two strands of the DNA double helix can be `unzipped' by application of 15 pN force. We analyze the dynamics of unzipping and rezipping, for the case where the molecule ends ar…

Force and kinetic barriers in unzipping of DNA
S. Cocco, R. Monasson, J. Marko
A theory of the unzipping of double-stranded (ds) DNA is presented, and is compared to recent micromanipulation experiments. It is shown that the interactions which stabilize the d…
