We have studied the interaction of Mg super(2+) with six deoxyoctanucleotide duplexes of known sequence. Specifically, we have measured the resulting hydration changes by following the change in the concentration increment of ultrasonic velocity, delta A, of each of these six duplexes, in their Cs s...
