Abstract
Collective coordinate and direct numerical integration methods are app lied to the analysis of a one-dimensional DNA model. A modification of the coupling constant in an extended region is found to be less selec tive towards the breather it can trap than an isolated impurity. There fore it provides a possible physical mechanism for the effect of an en zyme on DNA transcription.
