The nonlinear model of DNA is considered. In this model only the longitudinal and transverse modes are taken into account but the helical structure and torsional motion are neglected. The new kink-like solutions for the nonlinear equation of motion which describes the stretch of the hydrogen bond are constructed by means of the Hirota method.
