Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2017•ElsevierFrom the per unit length free energy for DNA under tension, we have calculated an effective
contour length dependent persistence length for short DNA. This effective persistence length
results from the enhanced fluctuations in short DNA. It decreases for shorter DNA, making
shorter DNA more flexible. The results of the J-factor calculated using this effective
persistence length are in good agreement with experimental data.
