Entropic elasticity of double-strand DNA subject to simple spatial constraints
Entropic elasticity of double-strand DNA subject to simple spatial constraints
The aim of the present paper is to study the entropic elasticity of the dsDNA molecule, having a crystallographic length L of the order of 10–30 persistence lengths A, when it is subject to spatial obstructions. We have not tried to obtain the single-molecule partition function by solving a Schödringer-like …
