Predicting the UV Spectrum of Single Stranded DNA

Article Preview

Abstract:

A model was developed to predict the UV absorbance spectra and thus concentration of single stranded DNA (ssDNA) samples. The model was developed from UV absorbance spectra of ssDNA oligodeoxynucleotides determined at different concentrations. The model, which would predict the concentration of ssDNA from the A260 value, is shown to predict absorbance spectra of ssDNA as shown when compared to the experimental result.
