Phys. Rev. E 53, 1011–1020 (1996)Effective breather trapping mechanism for DNA transcriptionReceived 31 August 1995; published in the issue dated January 1996 Collective coordinate and direct numerical integration methods are applied to the analysis of a one-dimensional DNA model. A modification of the coupling constant in an extended region is found to be less selective towards the breather it can trap than an isolated impurity. Therefore it provides a possible physical mechanism for the effect of an enzyme on DNA transcription. © 1996 The American Physical Society. © 1996 The American Physical Society URL:
