Abstract
We show that the simple analytical model proposed by Zhang and Marko [Phys. Rev. E 77, 031916 (2008)] to illustrate Maxwell relations for single-DNA experiments can be improved by including the zero-force entropy of a Gaussian chain. The resulting model is in excellent agreement with the discrete persistent-chain model and is in a form convenient for analyzing experimental data.
