Study of Base pairing in DNA (CAT#: STEM-AC-0063-WXH)

Introduction

A base pair (bp) is a fundamental unit of double-stranded nucleic acids consisting of two nucleobases bound to each other by hydrogen bonds. They form the building blocks of the DNA double helix and contribute to the folded structure of both DNA and RNA. Dictated by specific hydrogen bonding patterns, "Watson–Crick" (or "Watson–Crick–Franklin") base pairs (guanine–cytosine and adenine–thymine) allow the DNA helix to maintain a regular helical structure that is subtly dependent on its nucleotide sequence.

Principle

The temperature jump method is a technique used in chemical kinetics for the measurement of very rapid reaction rates.
The T-Jump technique provides a means to follow fast reactions with half-lives of just a few microseconds. The reaction volume is prepared so that it is in equilibrium and then rapidly perturbed by a rapid change in temperature. There is a new equilibrium constant at the higher temperature, but the initial concentrations are balanced for the lower temperature. The system therefore relaxes and the reaction proceeds until the concentrations have reached their new equilibrium values.
