Abstract

We argue that a breather wave, describing DNA dynamics, behaves like a real soliton. We rely on a Peyrard–Bishop–Dauxois (PBD) model. In addition, we propose a couple of experiments to confirm or reject this statement. These experiments should study solitonic interactions using micromanipulation technique. Also, we suggest how to measure a solitonic width and its amplitude.
