Raman depolarization ratios in RNA and DNA are sensitive for sugar-base coupling [PDF]
, 1995 Polarized and depolarized Raman spectra are obtained for a number of synthetic polynucleotides containing adenine, uracil, and thymine bases. The depolarization ratios are determined by two methods: (1) by dividing the -spectrum by the -spectrum and (2 ...

Driven translocation of a polynucleotide chain through a nanopore--A continuous time Monte-Carlo study [PDF]
Physical Review E74, 011911 (2006), 2006 Using continuous time Monte-Carlo method we simulated the translocation of a polynucleotide chain driven through a nanopore by an electric field. We have used two models of driven diffusion due to the electric field. The chain may have strong interaction with the pore, and depends on which end of the chain first enters the pore.

Virus Replication as a Phenotypic Version of Polynucleotide Evolution [PDF]
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, April 2013, Volume 75, Issue 4,
pp 602-628, 2012 In this paper we revisit and adapt to viral evolution an approach based on the theory of branching process advanced by Demetrius, Schuster and Sigmund ("Polynucleotide evolution and branching processes", Bull. Math. Biol. 46 (1985) 239-262), in their study of polynucleotide evolution.

Prebiotic selection for motifs in a model of template-free elongation of polymers within compartments. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The transition from prelife where self-replication does not occur, to life which exhibits self-replication and evolution, has been a subject of interest for many decades. Membranes, forming compartments, seem to be a critical component of this transition
