title: Thermodynamic properties of branched DNA complexes with full-matched and mismatched DNA strands.
abstract: Complexes consisting of a branched DNA with full-matched and mismatched DNA strands were prepared, and the cross-linking of the DNA strands and their diastereochemistry affected the stability of the complexes and the thermodynamics of the complex formation.
