Comparison of the melting temperature of shared-stem and conventional molecular beacons as determined by the initial concentrations of probe and target. By fitting the data with a straight line, changes in enthalpy (slope of the fitted line) and entropy (y-intercept) characterizing the phase transition between bound-to-target and stem–loop conformations of a molecular beacon were obtained.
