title: Ribonucleic acid-deoxyribonucleic acid hybridization as a second-order reaction.
abstract: Certain features of RNA-DNA hybridization can be accounted for in terms of second-order-reaction theory. These include the use of annealing kinetics to estimate RNA complexity and the occurrence of approximately linear double-reciprocal plots.
