Abstract

At low ionic strength the thermal stability of DNA was observed to be strongly enhanced by the presence of glycerol. The stabilizing effect went down as the Na + concentration was increased. With high concentrations of the ions or glycerol a further increase in the glycerol concentration suppressed the thermal stability of DNA. The effects observed may be attributed to enhanced Coulombic Na +-DNA interaction as the dielectric constant of the solution decreases.
