摘要：

In this paper we calculate the thermal equilibrium number of solitons in DNA as a function of absolute temperature and the number of base pairs. These calculations are effected by modeling DNA as a Toda lattice with parameters chosen to match experimentally measured properties of DNA. We find that a significant number of solitons is generated at physiological temperature (310 K). Moreover at low temperature, the dependence of the number of solitons on the temperature follows a T 1 3 law. © 1990.
