  • Abstract
    We introduce a minimal mesoscopic model for the DNA/RNAP complex; this is obtained as an extension of the familiar Yakushevich model for DNA dynamics. We study in particular the existence and stability of topological solitary waves for our model, motivated by the literature on would-be solitonic excitations in DNA.
