Collective response of DNA to THz electric fields is studied in a simple pair bond model. We confirm, with some caveats, a previous observation of destabilising DNA breather modes and explore the parameter-dependence of these modes. It is shown that breather modes are eliminated under reasonable physical conditions and that thermal effects are significant.
