Perturbed soliton excitations in DNA molecular chain
  We study nonlinear dynamics of a periodic inhomogeneous DNA double helical chain under dynamic plane-base rotator model by considering angular rotation of bases in a plane normal to the helical axis. The dynamics is governed by a perturbed sine-Gordon equation. The perturbed soliton solution is obtained using a multiple scale soliton perturbation theory. The perturbed kink-antikink solitons represent formation of open state configuration with fluctuation in DNA.
