The magnitude of intramolecular DNA optical absorbance is presented as a function of [Na + ] and GC composition of the DNA. The data are presented as a ratio of absorbances A 0   T   r/ A 0   T   dfor the DNA at the denaturing temperature ( T d ) and renaturing temperature ( T r ) under the given conditions. All ratios were determined for T r corresponding to the temperature optimum ( T m − T r = 25°C) in DNA reassociation rate. This fact, coupled with the convenient A 0   T   r/ A 0   T   dratio representation, permits the quick estimation of the magnitude of this optical effect in DNA reassociation reactions over a wide range of experimental conditions.
