THEORETICAL STUDIES IN LOW-FREQUENCY VIBRATIONS OF DNA MACROMOLECULES

Summary

    The theoretical investigation of low-frequency dynamics of DNA macromolecules is theoretically studied taking into account the hydrogen bond stretching in base pairs, the backbone flexibility and intranucleoside mobility. The structure of low-frequency macro-molecule vibration spectrum is determined. Using the theoretical results obtained and their correlation with DNA Raman spectra the interpretation of the set of experimental data is presented.
