One of the defining physicochemical features of DNA in aqueous solution is its ability to maintain a double-helical structure and for this structure to undergo a cooperative, heat-induced denaturation (melting). Herein we show that a 21-mer synthetic DNA can form and maintain such a duplex structure

## Abstract As a continuation of previous papers [__Biopolymers__ (1976) **15**, 879; (1978) **17**, 1508], the low‐frequency dielectric relaxation of DNA solutions was studied with a four‐electrode cell and the simultaneous two‐frequency measurement. Below a critical concentration, the dielectric
## 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 second‐order renaturation rate. For example, in a DNA
