Mechanical denaturation of DNA: existence of a low-temperature denaturation

Mechanical denaturation of DNA: existence of a low-temperature denaturation

Recent theoretical predictions on DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) mechanical separation induced by pulling forces are numerically tested within a model in which self-avoidance for DNA strands is fully taken into account. DNA strands are described by interacting pairs of self-avoiding walks which are pulled apart by a force applied at the …
