deltaHrules: Change in Enthalpy of Hybridization of DNA/DNA Quadruplets in...

Description Usage Format Details Source References Examples

Description

An 8D array with four adjacent base pairs of the DNA duplex. Each dimension has five elements defining the residue at that position ("A", "C", "G", "T", or "-"). The array contains the standard enthalpy change of probe binding (dH, [kcal/mol]) for every quadruple base pairing.

Details

The first four dimensions correspond to the four top strand positions from 5' to 3'. The fifth to eighth dimensions correspond to the four bottom strand positions from 5' to 3'.
