Abstract
Some structural properties of the DNA of Plasmodium falciparum were studied thoroughly using several techniques. Its G+C content was found to be extremely low (17-19%), the lowest reported for a living organism. The DNA seems to be composed only of the four major bases as no methylated bases were detected. This DNA had a Tm value of 62.5 degrees C and its denaturation profile showed no marked intramolecular heterogeneity.
