Force-induced melting of DNA—evidence for peeling and internal melting from force spectra on short synthetic duplex sequences

Overstretching of DNA occurs at about 60–70 pN when a torsionally unconstrained double-stranded DNA molecule is stretched by its ends. During the transition, the contour length increases by up to 70% without complete strand dissociation. Three mechanisms are thought to be involved: force-induced mel...
