For a self-complementary DNA oligonucleotide, the melting temperature is monitored as a function of total strand concentration: T(K) Strand 315 318 321 5.00 X 9.00 X 1.50 X Concentration (M) 10-5 10-5 10-4 324 2.70 X 10-* 327 4.00 X 10:4 329 8.20 X 10-4 332 1.40 X 10-3 Determine the enthalpy and entropy changes associated with the melting of this DNA duplex. Assume the enthalpy and entropy are both constants in this temperature interval. State any assumptions.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

SOLUTION To determine the enthalpy and entropy changes associated with the melting of the DNA duplex we need to use the following equation H U PV where H is the enthalpy change U is the internal energ... View the full answer
