Optical Forces Acting on a Double DNA-Like Helix, Its Unwinding and Strands Rupture
In this paper we study electromagnetic forces induced on DNA and DNA-like helices by external electromagnetic waves. We consider simultaneously occurring forces and torques, interconnected and acting along the double helix axis. Since the DNA molecule has an absorption band in the ultraviolet and vi...
