## 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

## 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
## Abstract A statistical mechanical calculation of the binding properties of DNA bisβintercalators is presented, based on the sequenceβgenerating function method of Lifson. The effects of binding by intercalation of one or both chromophores of a bifunctional intercalating agent are examined. The s
## Synopsis Systematic experimental data for the dependence of melting range width AT for phage T2 and calf thymus DNA's on sodium ion concentration was obtained. A mathematical description of helix-coil transition was given for the case of DNA with a block sequence of nucleotides (such as calf th
