Abstract. In this paper we derive a new modification of the sine-Gordon equation that is suitable for simulation of angular oscillations of nitrous bases in a heterogeneous DNA. The equation is applied to study the behavior of nonlinear conformational waves - kinks - near the boundaries separating homogeneous regions in the DNA sequence.
 
Key words: mathematical modeling, sine-Gordon equation, the dynamics of DNA, kink trajectory.
