Quantifying and modeling the melting thermodynamics of chemically modified duplex DNA

Biological reagents that bind a target selectively and with high affinity are widely used as recognition molecules within diagnostic assays and as therapeutics, among other applications. By leveraging their Watson-Crick base pairing ability, short DNA oligonucelotides represent one class of such bio...
