Abstract
Fluorescence depolarization was used to measure the rate of renaturation of T2 DNA, which had been modified by chloroacetaldehyde. Rates were measured on DNA samples with 5β15% of the base pairs modified and were found to agree with rates determined by DNA absorbance kinetics at 260 nm. The renaturation rate of a modified T2 DNA was unchanged in the presence of a ninefold abundance of unlabeled calf thymus DNA.

## Abstract The thermal effect of magnesium ions on the helixβcoil transition of DNA was studied calorimetrically by a modified differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). It was found that the transition temperature of DNA depends on both the DNA and magnesium ion concentrations. The dependence of th
