title: Kinetics of base stacking-aided DNA hybridization.
abstract: The association and dissociation rate constants (k(a) and k(d)) of DNA hybridizations involving dual, single or no stacking with different base-pairing sizes were measured, which reveals the advantage of stacking hybridization in both the kinetic and steady state.
