摘要DNA is a nucleic acid molecule with double-helical structures that are special symmetrical structures attracting great attention of numerous researchers. The super-long elastic slender rod, an important structural model of DNA and other long-train molecules, is a useful tool in analysing the symmetrical properties and the stabilities of DNA. We study the Lie symmetries of a super-long elastic slender rod by using the methods of infinitesimal transformation. Based on Kirchhoff's analogue, generalized Hamilton canonical equations are analysed. The infinitesimal transformations with respect to the radian coordinate, the generalized coordinate, and the quasi-momentum of the model are introduced. The Lie symmetries and conserved quantities of the model are presented.
