| melting temperature |
(abbr: T m ) The temperature at which a double-stranded DNA or RNA molecule denatures into separate single strands. The T m is characteristic of each DNA species and gives an indication of its base composition. DNAs rich in G:C base pairs are more resistant to thermal denaturation than A:T rich DNA since three hydrogen bonds are formed between G and C, but only two between A and T.

| melting temperature |
The temperature at which the thermal vibration of the atoms or ions in the lattice of a mineral is sufficient to break the chemical bonds holding them to the lattice, so a material transforms into a liquid.

| melting temperature |
is the midpoint of the temperature at which 1/2 of the DNA molecules are denatured and 1/2 are annealed.

| melting temperature |
(T m ) is the temperature point in a hybridization reaction at which 50% of the nucleotides are annealed (double strands) and 50% are denatured (single strands). The melting temperature is dependent on a set of conditions which are referred to as stringency.
