Abstract:
A new transition mechanism of DNA duplex association was proposed and a segregated transition model (STM) was further derived. The experimental results in various molar ratios showed that the duplex association transition is imperfect and the thermodynamic properties and self-transition behavior of single strands exert a significant influence on DNA duplex formation.
