Modelling the melting of DNA oligomers with non-inert dangling ends by Alejandro Soto, Francesco Mambretti, Emanuele Locatelli, Emanuele Locatelli, Iliya D. Stoev

“…In this work, we investigate the dependence of the melting temperature of low-valency DNA constructs on the length of non-inert dangling ends, controlling their sequence composition. We compare two computational models to evaluate their effectiveness and limitations in predicting the melting behavior of DNA oligomers (bivalent linkers) and more complex structures (trivalent nanostars), benchmarking the results against experimental spectroscopic data. …”
