FIGURE 5.
Characteristic acoustic ratios (ΔA/ΔPh) of i), the 90-bp dsDNA used with three different conformations, i.e., a straight, bent, and triangle shape; and ii), the 50-bp triple-helix DNA in a straight and bent conformation. The 90-bp dsDNA molecules were drawn using the GSVIEW software package (not drawn to scale). The experimental conditions (buffer, substrate) are different for the dsDNA and triple-stranded DNA; so comparison of values should not be made directly (error bars from same surface experiments).
