✦ Synopsis

In this paper we study a DNA model, which is built by considering all probable sequences, where the possibilities of having the base pairs (A-T) or (C-G) in the jth place of the strand helix are considered. This is assumed in order to derive the partition function. From here the denaturation curve is obtained. Finally, some considerations about the correlation coefficients are presented.
