Probe–target complex
formation as a function of time. Plots of the concentration of target–probe
complexes, [P*T],
versus time for four target concentrations at 45°C
are shown for each probe. (a) 32mer hairpin, (b) 16mer hairpin, (c) 32mer linear,
(d) 16mer linear. Solid lines drawn through the
data are best fits obtained from non-linear least square regression
fits of the data with equation 6.
