Functional helicoidal model of DNA molecule with elastic nonlinearity

We constructed a functional DNA molecule model on the basis of a flexible helicoidal sensor, specifically, a pretwisted hollow nano-strip. We study in this article the helicoidal nano- sensor model with a pretwisted strip axial extension corresponding to the overstretching transition of DNA from dsD...
