Thermodynamical Description of the Thermochemical Mechanisms of DNA Deformation.
V.B. Nemtsov

The thermodynamic description of thermochemical mechanisms of DNA molecule deformation is developed. The expressions for bending and twisting moments applied to a DNA molecule due to variation of concentrations of the composition of the environment are obtained. The estimation of energetical deformation effects is given.
Key words: DNA molecule, thermochemical mechanisms of deformation.
