title: Nonlinear waves in DNA and regulation of transcription.
abstract: The transmission of conformational changes along the DNA double helix is interpreted as a propagation of nonlinear solitary waves. Experimental and theoretical data in favour of this approach are presented. The possible role of nonlinear waves in regulation of transcription is discussed.
