## Abstract Exact algorithms for the calculation of melting curves of heterogeneous DNA with __N__ base pairs apparently require computer time proportional to __N__^2^. However, it is shown that a decomposition of the loop entropy factor into a sum of __I__ exponential functions (1) gives an extrem

β¦ Synopsis
Uniy~r~iity of some melting indicators, in the cOntext of two successful models of the solid and the liquid, gives rise: to simple semi-empirical melting equations that describe uddirivlty of melting curves. Computer inverse power melting results are used to reproduce the melting characteristics of argon to a good acnrracy.
Computer simuIation experiments of the melting characteristics of the inverse power (r-", ti = 1,4,6,9, 12,m) potentials [l--6] and the Lennard-Jones (L-J) system [4,7], demonstrated that certain selected averages are insensitive to the details of the interaction. Along the melting line, the Lindemann ratio, 6, and the reduced free volume, uf*, are nearly the same for ;rll the inverse power potentials_ The principal maxi-

## Abstract Theoretical calculations predict that the differential melting curves for random polynucleotide sequences having lengths up to several tens of thousands of base pairs have a clearβcut fine structure. This structure appears in the form of multiple narrow peaks 0.3β0.4Β°C wide on the bell
