18. Here we assume the B-DNA form. Before melting, DNA with a high cytosine-guanine (CG) content undergoes a transition to a stretched S-DNA form at large forces. This transition was found to be rapid compared to melting [H. Clausen-Schaumann et al., Biophys. J. 78, 1997 (2000)], so that S-DNA could be treated by different effective parameters.
