Surprisingly high melting temperatures of the five nucleobases have been measured using a specially developed fast scanning calorimetry method that prevents decomposition. Results are rationalized in terms of an “ideal associated solution”.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
