Thermodynamic behavior of short oligonucleotides in microarray hybridizations can be described using Gibbs free energy in a nearest-neighbor model
Article Abstract:
The effect of well-defined mismatches on hybridization specificity is examined and the relation between hybridization intensity and Gibbs free energy is analyzed. The correlation between intensity and Gibbs free energy is used in quality control of microarray hybridizations by designing probes and corresponding RNA spikes with a range of Gibbs free energy values.

A probing effect of local structure on the thermodynamic redox properties of [V.sup.+5]: A comparison of [V.sub.2][O.sub.5] and [Mg.sub.3][(VO.sub.4).sub.2]
Article Abstract:
The determination of redox properties of [V.sub.2][O.sub.5] and [Mg.sub.3][(VO.sub.4).sub.2] by coulometric titration gives enthalpy values for the formation of oxides of Vanadium. The enthalpy values are found to increase with the oxidation state of the sample which depends in turn on the oxygen:vanadium ratio.
