Unzipping DNA from the condensed globule state--Effects of unraveling
Pui-Man Lam, J. C. Levy
We study theoretically the unzipping of a double stranded DNA from a condensed globule state by an external force. At constant force, we find that the double stranded DNA unzips an…

Pui-Man Lam, J. C. S. Levy, Hanchen Huang
A double stranded DNA molecule when pulled with a force acting on one end of the molecule can become either partially or completely unzipped depending on the magnitude of the force…
