(14) Identical values are obtained for the enthalpies of the disordering process for both dinucleotides (AH= 8.1 kcal/mol), while AS0 is slightly higher for AmpAm (28 eu/mol) than for ApA (27 eu/mol). Correspondingly, AFat 0 is lower for AmpAm (0.3 kcal/mole) than for ApA (0.6 kcal/mole). The larger value for AS and the lower stability of the ordered structure of AmpAm may be due to a larger amount of rotational freedom gained in the disordering process of AmpAm than of ApA. Model building (Corey-Pauling-Koltum mod-els) indicates thatintroduction of the bulky methyl substituentsmay diminish the flexibility of the backbone predominantly in the ordered con-formation of AmpAm. A change in solvation resulting from thereplace-ment of the polar hydroxyls by essentially nonpolar methoxy groupsmay also be of importance. While this interpretation seems plausible, the following shouldbe kept in mind: for the determination of the Tm’s and the derivation of the thermodynamic data the high-and the low-temperature branches of the melting curves have to be approximated. This may give rise to considerable error, especially for the low-temperature ends of the curves. Furthermore, the thermodynamic treat-ment is based on the two-state model which is not clearly established.
