## Abstract The effect of magnesium ions on the parameters of the DNA helix‐coil transition has been studied for the concentration range 10^−6^–10^−1^__M__ at the ionic strengths of 10^−3^__M__ Na^+^. Special attention has been given to the region of low ion concentrations and to the effect of poly

## Synopsis The thermal denaturation method was employed to study the effect of Ca2+ and Mn2+ ions on the DNA helix-coil transition parameters at Na+ concentrations of 10-3-10-1M. A t low ion concentrations, thermal stability increases, the melting range passes through a maximum, and the denaturat
Thermal denaturation of direct-mixed and reconstituted polylysine-DNA complexes in 2.5 X 10-4 M EDTA, pH 8.0 and various concentrations of NaCl has been studied. For both complexes, increasing ionic strength of the solution raises T,, the melting temperature of free base pairs. The linear dependence
Polyamines are ubiquitous cellular components that interact strongly with nucleic acids. Although many of the interactions of oligocations with DNA can be rationalized with polyelectrolyte theories that treat counterions as point charges, some structural effects are evident. We have explored the eff
New Brunswick, New Jersey 08903 ## Synopsis The bimolecular rate constant k z for the association of complementary polynucleotide strands has been observed to increase strongly with increasing ionic strength-in fact, proportional to its third or fourth power. This effect is here interpreted quant
