Abstrakt: WE present here evidence for the existence of regions with homogeneous physical stability (homostability regions) in double-stranded DNAs. Results of a study on the thermal melting of whole replicative form DNA from fd phage and of its fragments obtained by the action of restriction enzymes, strongly suggest that regional homostability seems to be an intrinsic characteristic of DNA, playing an essential part in its genetic activities.
