Temperature-dependent UV measurements on the resulting oligomers indicate generally higher thermal stabilities (T-m) compared to that without an overhanging end. The duplex stabilization (DeltaT(m)) was correlated with the molecular polarizability (a(m)) of the base of the pendant nucleoside showing that: the higher the molecular polarizability a(m) of a dangling nucleobase, the higher the thermal stability of the DNA duplex. |
