Our exact calculations for small chains show that the extension (reaction co-ordinate) may increase or decrease with the temperature depending upon the applied force. The simple model developed here which incorporates semi-microscopic details of base direction provide an explanation of the force induced transitions in ssDNA as observed in experiments.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-08-21T12:20:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "87.10.-e", "64.60.-i", "05.10.-a", "05.20.-y" ], "keywords": [ "force induced stretched state", "temperature", "exact calculations", "self avoiding walks", "single stranded dna" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review E", "year": 2008, "month": "Jul", "volume": 78, "number": 1, "pages": "011907" }, "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008PhRvE..78a1907K" } } }
