STATISTICAL DESCRIPTION OF AN ENSEMBLE OF DNA MOLECULES
V. V. Belov and V. B. Nemtsov UDC 536.758 A statistical description of an ensemble of DNA molecules in an electrolyte solution has been developed. Radial distribution functions for all the components of the system and a single-particle distribution function for the elements of a molecule and its orientation elastic moduli have been calculated on this basis.
