Abstract

A common model for the time o~ (sec) taken by a DNA strand of length L (cm) to unravel is to assume that new points of unraveling occur along the strand as a Poisson process of rate 3L l/(cmx sec) in space-time and that the unraveling propagates at speed v/2 (cm/sec) in each direction until time o ~.
