Abstract

Mechanics is crucial for life. The single molecular mechanics of biomacromolecules lays the base of mechanical movements of organism. Here in this chapter, we will introduce the progress in single chain mechanics of DNA. The related studies are very important not only to the understanding of phenomena of life but also to the design and preparation of artificial nanomachines.
