DEVELOPMENT OF THE NONLINEAR CONFORMATIONAL DYNAMICS

Summary

    The critical analysis of the main directions of the theoretical investigations on nonlinear conformaiional DNA dynamics development is presented. The .principal points in building correct models for studies of nonlinear dynamics of a DNA-type macromolecules are formulated. It is shown that with a definite correlation of the elastic constants soliton-type conformational excitations can move along DNA macromolecules.
