The extent to which the twisting motions of two separate subunits (base pairs) in an elastic filament are correlated is discussed in terms of the two-point correlation function of their azimuthal angular displacements C(Delta,t) identical with <(phi(m)(t) - phi(m)(0))(phi(n)(t) - phi(n)(0))>, where
In this paper the thermal equilibrium number of solitons in DNA aa a function of absolute temperature and the number of base pairs is calculated. These calculations are effected by modeling DNA as a Toda lattice with parameters chosen to match experimentally measured properties of DNA. It is found t
We map a simplified version of the protein-DNA interaction problem into an Ising-model in a random magnetic field. The model includes a "head" which moves along the chain while interacting with the underlying spins. The head moves by using the statistical fluctuations of base openings. A Monte Carlo
