Calculating Tms and Separating DNA Molecules That Differ in G:C Content At 0.2 M Na+, the melting temperature of double-stranded DNA is given by the formula, Tm = 69.3 + 0 41 (% G + C). The DNAs from mice and rats have (G + C) contents of 44% and 40%, respectively. Calculate the Tms for these DNAs in 0.2 M NaCl. If samples of these DNAs were inadvertently mixed, how might they be separated from one another?
