## Abstract The thermal stability and renaturation kinetics of DNA have been studied as a function of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) concentration. Increasing the concentration of DMSO lowers the melting temperature of DNA but results in an increased secondβorder renaturation rate. For example, in a DNA

Abstract
DNA melting temperatures and renaturation rates have been determined for Me~2~Et~2~NBr and a series of RMe~3~NBr and REt~3~NBr solvents where R is a linear hydrocarbon chain. The point of independence of DNA melting temperature on base composition has been investigated for each solvent system. Renaturation rates are compared with those found in other concentrated salt solutions. Solvent mixtures which accelerate DNA renaturation have also been investigated.

A technique useful for estimating the viscoelastic properties of dilute solution poly(ethy1ene oxide) was developed. With this technique, the effects of concentration, shear rate, presence of salt and/or anionic surfactant, and molecular weight on the viscoelastic properties in dilute solution were
