Structure and energy of a DNA dodecamer under tensile load

In the last decade, methods to study single DNA molecules under tensile load have been developed. These experiments measure the force required to stretch and melt the double helix and provide insights into the structural stability of DNA. However, it is not easy to directly relate the shape of the f...
