Abstrakt: Experimental results are presented on temperature--dependent DNA heat capacity in three different states: a) intact--native DNA in the conformation of double helix, b) disordered conformation of polynucleotide chains in the state of statistical coils, c) completely "degenerated" polynucleotide chains--mechanical mixture of nucleotides. Data on heat capacity (4-400 K) at different water content in the specimens allow a definition of relative changes in the pattern of the entropy temperature dependence for these conformational states with the account for the structural effect of water.
