We briefly review some of the models used to describe DNA denat- uration dynamics, focusing on the value of the dynamical exponent z, which governs the scaling of the characteristic time τ ∼ L^z as a function of the sequence length L. The models contain different degrees of simplifications, in particular sometimes they do not include a description for helical entanglement: we discuss how this aspect influences the value of z, which ranges from z = 0 to z ≈ 3.3. Connections with experiments are also mentioned.

Abstract
We briefly review some of the models used to describe DNA denat- uration dynamics, focusing on the value of the dynamical exponent z, which governs the scaling of the characteristic time τ ∼ L^z as a function of the sequence length L. The models contain different degrees of simplifications, in particular sometimes they do not include a description for helical entanglement: we discuss how this aspect influences the value of z, which ranges from z = 0 to z ≈ 3.3. Connections with experiments are also mentioned.File in questo prodotto:
