## Abstract The Zimm‐Bragg theory is extended to treat the melting of the triple helix poly (A + 2U) for a solution with a 1 : 2 mole ratio of poly A to poly U. Only the case for long chains is considered. For a given set of parameters the theory predicts the fraction of segments in the triple heli

## i. Br. (West Germany) synopsis The effect of deuterium on the thermal stability of the polynucleotide double helix formed by the homopolymers polyadenylic acid (poly A) and polyuridylic acid (poly U) has been invertigated by measuring the heat capacity as a function of temperature in an automat
## Synopsis Studies were made of the influence of hydrostatic pressure on the helix-coil transitions of poly(A + U) and poly(A + 2U). The results were analyzed by a thermodynamic treatment which emphasized the cooperative aspect of the transitions. The helix-to-coil volume changes were found to be
## Abstract **Summary:** Differential UV spectroscopy was used to study the temperature dependence of the conformational equilibrium in aqueous poly I · poly A · poly I (A2I) solutions containing Na^+^ (0.1–2 M) and Mg^2+^ (10^−5^–0.005 M) ions. Over the whole range of the studied Na^+^ and Mg^2+^
Melting parameters of 2U:lA complexes formed by polyuridylic acid [poly(U)] and three adenine dinucleotides, diribonucleoside monophosphonate ApA and diastereoisomers of dideoxyribonucleoside methyl phosphonate [(dAp A), and (dAp A),], in 1M NaCl and at a number of dinucleotide concentrations were o
