  Using the Langevin Dynamics simulation, we have studied the effects of the
shear force on the rupture of short double stranded DNA at different
temperatures. We show that the rupture force increases linearly with the chain
length and approaches to the asymptotic value in accordance with the
experiment. The qualitative nature of these curves almost remains same for
different temperatures but with a shift in the force. We observe three
different regimes in the extension of covalent bonds (back bone) under the
shear force.
