title: A computer model for hydrodynamic shearing of DNA (Gibb's phenomenon): Part II.
abstract: This paper presents an extension of the distribution proposed during hydrodynamic shearing of DNA. In the Fourier least square approximation of uniform random distribution or a square wave, Gibb's phenomena occur at the boundaries. The same behavior occurs at the boundaries of the DNA strands undergoing hydrodynamic shearing of DNA. This hypothesis is corroborated by results from a computer simulation of hydrodynamic shearing of DNA. The evidence helps confirm the kinetic experiments of Britten and Kohne [4]. Furthermore the results predict that sequence very near the end (0.2 LAMBDA) should be the most intact.
