Abstract
We studied the structure of heterogenous DNA in the native state. There are two different regimes in the sample‐to‐sample fluctuations of the free energy in the native state, which can be interpreted via the concept of local free energy of base pairs. In the first low‐temperature frozen regime, local free energies are random and there are large sample‐to‐sample fluctuations for short DNAs. In the high‐temperature molten regime, the weakly bounded base pairs are opened and do not give random contribution to the free energy of native DNA. As a result, sample‐to‐sample fluctuations are suppressed in the molten regime. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys, 2010

## Abstract The problem of determining the molecular weight of DNA samples by sedimentation equilibrium in a buoyant‐density gradient is considered for the case of DNA samples with density heterogeneity. By determining apparent molecular weights in two or more buoyant mediums, quantitative measure
