The State University of New Jersey, New Brumwick, New Jersey 08903 synopsis We present an investigation of the helix-coil transition in a stable branched oligomer of DNA, known as an immobile DNA junction. This junction is composed of four 16-mer strands, which yield four double-helical arms, each c

State Trniversity ## Synopsis The heats of binding of Mg++ ions to poly A, poly U, and to their complexes, in the presence of Na+ ions, have been measurd calorimetrically. In all cases the heat, AH(@), exhibitis a distinct dependence on the extent of binding, 8, and in the cases of poly A and pol
Actinomycin-D (actD) binds to natural DNA at two different classes of binding sites, weak and strong. The affinity for these sites is highly dependent on DNA sequence and solution conditions, and the interaction appears to be purely entropic driven. Although the entropic character of this reaction h
## Abstract Experimental binding isotherms relative to the interactions between proflavine and poly(A) or DNA are analyzed by comparison with theoretical models dealing with competitive cooperative bindings. In the case of poly(A), there are apparently no specific binding sites for the positive co
