Table 1. Hyperchromicity factors for six ssDNAs and the resulting dsDNAs derived from linear fitting of 1/hm versus 1/[1 + (m – 1)xi] in two adding modes.

S1S2 S2 plus various S1 hS1 = 1.017 1.123 1.130 0.991
  S1 plus various S2 hS2 = 1.062 1.136

ahi indicates the hyperchromicity factor of ssDNAs and was calculated by the intercept of a linear fitting of 1/hm versus 1/[1 + (m – 1)xi] (i = A or B).

bhD indicates hyperchromicity factor of the resulting dsDNAs and was determined by the slope of a linear fitting in two adding modes.

cAverage hD indicates the average hyperchromicity factor of the two adding modes and relative deviations of S1S2, S3S4 and S5S6 are 1.15, 1.32 and 0.242%, respectively.

dY is the extent of duplex association and can be calculated by equation 10.
