Abstrakt: We develop a self-consistent calculation of the probability of base pair opening from room temperature through the critical behavior at melting for poly(dA)·poly(dT). The method uses as input only force constants and interaction potential parameters refined at room temperature plus one parameter describing the open state. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
