Table 3. Parameters describing global flexibility of B-DNA and A-RNA.
Parameter | B-DNA | A-RNA |
---|---|---|
Entropy | 11.3 | 9.5 |
11.0 | ||
Conformational volume | 7.1 | 1.7 |
7.0 |
Entropies are in cal/K mol and conformational volumes are in Å3 deg3. Values in italics correspond to the average values obtained by selecting seven random subsets of B-DNAs of the same size than the total A-RNA set.
