Adsorption of melting deoxyribonucleic acid
Adsorption of melting deoxyribonucleic acid
The melting of a homopolymer double-stranded (ds) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the dilute limit is studied numerically in the presence of an attractive and impenetrable surface on a simple cubic lattice. The two strands of the DNA are modeled using two self-avoiding walks, capable of interacting at complementary sites, thereby …
