Abstract


Recent achievements of scientists in obtaining samples of oriented fibers of DNA makes it possible to investigate nonlinear dynamical properties of DNA by the method of neutron scattering [1]. Preliminary calculations of the dynamical factor of inelastic scattering by DNA were presented in this paper. Calculations were made on the basis of nonlinear mathematical model of DNA proposed in [2], and approximate model of statistics of assemble of DNA solitons proposed in [3].
