- 2015 October 30, “Counterintuitive DNA Sequence Dependence in Supercoiling-Induced DNA Melting”, in PLOS ONE[1], :
- In contrast with predictions based on the melting temperatures of DNA [12 –14 ], our results show that an increasing percentage of GC base pairs in a long DNA molecule lowers the stretching force necessary to locally dehybridize the DNA backbones in the presence of negative supercoiling densities.
