Abstract
The statistical mechanics of DNA denaturation is studied with the Morse pot
ential. We point out that the results of Peyrard and Bishop do not correctl
y reflect the statistics relation [y(2)] greater than or equal to [y](2), a
t the region of delocalized states, for the DNA interstrand separation y. T
he correct results are given.
