A small-volume cuvette and holder makes it possible to obtain useful high-resolution thermal denaturation profiles on as little as submicrogram quantities of DNA and routine results with approximately 2 pg of DNA. The reduced sample size is especially important in the thermal characte~zation of DNA

โฆ Synopsis
Denaturation of DNA molecules by stepwise incrementation of the temperature leads to melting profiles showing a fine structure, composed of individual melting modes. A method is described by which quantitative physical information brought by the modes can be extracted from the melting profile. Related problems such as data editing and smoothing are also discussed.

## Abstract The stability and structure of nylon nucleic acid duplexes with complementary DNA and RNA strands was examined. Thermal denaturing studies of a series of oligonucleotides that contained nylon nucleic acids (1โ5 amide linkages) revealed that the amide linkage significantly enhanced the b
Generally the term step is used in d.c. polarography, while the term wave is used in a.c. polarography. In those cases when the course of the polarographic curve is more complex, the shape of the polaro~ram is described in detail in order to avoid any confusionโข \* The ratio l.'h ~ is independent of
