contents The theoretical study of deformability of special sequence of DNA double helix TATA-box is presentated. The paper elaborates on the mechanisms of abnormal deformation of DNA TATA-box double helix that cannot be explained using the standard mechanical model of polymer molecules (WLC) and needs more detailed modeling. Analyzing of DNA TATA-box deformation it is shown the molucule can undergo significant deformations due to its property of the structural polymorphism, that is, possibility of the double helix fragment to exist in more then one conformations. In addition to elastic components (bending, twisting), the presented model includes the following deformation features: possibility of conformation rearrangement of the shapes of the sugar rings, effects of a specific nucleotide sequence and anisotropy, the coupling between components. Presented model allows describe abnormal deformation based on physical special fitures of double helix inner structure.
