Abstract

Small molecule-DNA hybrids with only two parallel DNA duplexes (rSMDH 2) displayed sharper melting profiles compared to unmodified DNA duplexes, consistent with predictions from neighboring-duplex theory. Using adjusted thermodynamic parameters obtained from a coarse-grain dynamic simulation, the experimental data fit well to an analytical model.
