Thermal denaturation of DSD. CD data monitoring the loss of helical
signal at 222 nm with increasing temperature at varying concentrations
of Gdn⋅HCl: 0 M, 2.19 M, 3 M, 3.3 M, 3.6 M, 3.9 M, and 5.6 M,
respectively. The smooth lines represent theoretical curves obtained by
using parameters from the fitting procedure (see Materials and
Methods).
