Melting curve.

The temperature
at which DNA is half unfolded

Tm (melting temp)

Tm is a measure of the stability of dsDNA under a given set of conditions

Hypochromic
Shift

Composition :
higher the GC content, the higher the

2. Ionic Strength :
as the ionic strength increases, so does Tm.
Double helical DNA is stabilized by cations.

Divalent cations (Mg2+) are more effective
than monovalent cations (NA+ or K+).

3. Organic Solvents –
formamide for instance
lowers the Tm by weakening
the hydrophobic interactions.
