Dna melting
In a world of DNA, so grand,
Where nucleic acids make their stand,
We'll learn about a special chance,
To see the dance of the melting dance.
In the land of double-stranded DNA,
A study of thermodynamics holds sway,
It's all about how temperature can affect,
The structure of nucleic acids, we'll inspect.
The melting temperature, it's quite a sight,
Defined as the point where strands take flight,
When half of the DNA is single-stranded,
A random coil state, it's so enchanted.
The Tm depends on the DNA's length,
And the specific sequence, it's a strength,
Each molecule has its own unique way,
Of melting and dancing, come what may.
When the high temperature comes to play,
The two strands of DNA go their own way,
Denatured they become, no longer attached,
Like a puzzle piece lost, oh what a catch.
So let's dance with the melting DNA,
Discovering the wonders along the way,
In the world of nucleic acids, we'll explore,
The magic of thermodynamics, forevermore.
