Pulling double-stranded DNA at each end exerts a profound effect on the thermal denaturation, or melting, of a long segment of this molecule. We discuss the effects on this transition of a stretching force applied to opposite ends of the DNA, including full consideration of the consequences of excluded volume, the analysis of which is greatly simplified in this case.
