Abstract
The DNA denaturation, the double-stranded DNA unwinding process, is a vital process for cells. The percentage of the denaturation is used as an index of organism complexity and it is the base of the DNA hybridisation technique, which provides a great deal of information. It can be detected by observing the increase in the ability of a DNA solution to absorb ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 260 nm. Based on experimental data, we found a mathematical model capable of predicting the behaviour of a general DNA, given the melting temperature Tm.
