## Abstract The helix–coil phase transition of DNA is studied through a model equivalent to the one used in the theory of superconductivity. A distribution function for the excitations analogous to the usual Fermi function is obtained which depends on the parameter __T__~__0__~, the maximum tempera
## Abstract Equilibrium properties of heterogeneous DNA near the melting temperature __T__~__m__~ are investigated using the grand partition function. The present approach gives exact and analytical solutions. The algebraic expressions enhance a more thorough understanding of the correlation among
## Abstract Using the formalism of nearest‐neighbor Ising model and assuming that the allowed states for a monomeric unity of a polypeptide chain in solutions containing strong acids are E (helix), C (coil), and CS (solvent‐bonded coil), the partition function of the system was deduced analytically
## Abstract The helix–coil transition in polypeptides was studied by methods of statistical mechanics, taking account of interaction between “melted” amide groups through hydrogen bonds. The statistical sums are calculated in the explicit form for two limit cases: (1) the dilute solution when the m
