The PB model does not take hehcosity into consideration (Figure 27.6). However, its extended version, developed by Dauxois [21,22], does. We refer to this model as Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois (PBD) model. The helicoidal structure of the DNA chain implies that nucleotides from different strands become close enough so that they interact through water filaments. This means that a nucleotide at the site n of one strand interacts with both (n + h)th and (n — h)th nucleotides of...
