Abstract

In this paper, we investigate DNA denaturation through Statistical Mechanics and show that exceptional polynomials lead to DNA mutation. We consider a DNA model with two chains connected by Morse potential representing the H bonds, and then we calculate the partition function for this model. The partition function is converted into a Schr\"odinger like an equation. We exploit the techniques of SUSY quantum mechanics to model DNA mutation. We also compute the thermal denaturation of DNA for each mutated state.
