EPB Model of DNA and Thermodynamic Effective Bio Time

V. Thanh Ngo, and N. A. Viet

Using the simple EPB model1 of DNA (the combined model of the pendulum model of Englander,2 and Peyrard–Bishop microscopic model3), we propose a bio (DNA) time measured by EPB pendulum. We have shown that the effective bio time has a thermodynamic origin which equals the ordinary (real) time in the range of room-body temperature. Furthermore, it flows slower at low temperature and much faster near the DNA melting phase transition temperature than real time
