Figure 6From: Stability of double-stranded oligonucleotide DNA with a bulged loop: a microarray studyDouble-ended zipper model of DNA hybridization. a) Duplex can only open and close from the ends in a zipper-like fashion. Between the two zipper fork positions k and l, the duplex is closed. Δ G k , l o is the sum over all closed NN parameters in the bound duplex section. b) One MM affects two NN pairs.Back to article page
