Abstract excerpt
Relative lifetimes of inherent double stranded DNA openings with lengths up to ten base pairs are presented for different gene promoters and corresponding mutants that either increase or decrease transcriptional activity in the framework of the Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois model. Extensive microcanonical simulations are used with energies corresponding to physiological temperature. The bubble lifetime profiles along...
