Similarly, less than 30 min were necessary for heating from 20 to 30 °C, while nearly 100 min were necessary for cooling from 30 to 20 °C. If required, the heating and cooling times can be shortened and the temperature range widened by increasing the number of modules or improving the...
The two duplexes that join into an i-motif tetramer can intercalate in a number of ways, as can be seen, for example, in Figure 15 . If the single strand has p nucleosides, there are 2(p–1 ) meshing topologies, among which two provide the maximum number of intercalations, with a...
