Thermodynamics of DNA Hybridization from Atomistic Simulations
[article]
2020
bioRxiv
pre-print
We show that the melting temperatures estimated from our atomistic simulations follow an order consistent with the predictions from melting experiments and those from the nearest neighbor model, for a ...
Here, we describe an order parameter-based advanced sampling technique to calculate the free energy surface of hybridization and estimate the melting temperature of DNA oligomers at the atomistic resolution ...
We note that the predictive capability of our simulations is limited by the predictive capability of underlying potential energy function (CHARMM36 nucleic acids). ...

Evaluation of Gel-Pad Oligonucleotide Microarray Technology by Using Artificial Neural Networks
2005
Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Past studies have suggested that thermal dissociation analysis of nucleic acids hybridized to DNA microarrays would improve discrimination among duplex types by scanning through a broad range of stringency ...
Experimental variability and deviation from ideal melt behavior were shown to be attributable primarily to a method of local background subtraction that was very sensitive to displacement of the grid frames ...
