Elasticity Of Short DNA Molecules: In Theory And Experiment
Date: 11.12.2007
DNA, the **biomolecule** that provides the blueprint for life, has a lesser-known identity as a stretchy polymer. The authors have found a flaw in the most common model for **DNA** elasticity, a discovery that will improve the accuracy of single-molecule research and perhaps pave the way for DNA to become an official standard for measuring picoscale forces, a notoriously difficult challenge.
