We deal with the thermal conductance and the denaturation of a three-dimensional DNA double helix based on the Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois model by using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. It is reported that the thermal conductance of DNA has a substantial decrease near the denaturation whe...
