Nucleic acid thermodynamics is a field of study that focuses on the thermodynamic principles governing the stability, folding, and interactions of nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA. It encompasses the principles of energy changes, enthalpy, entropy, and free energy that dictate how nucleic acids behave in different conditions, including their stability under varying temperatures, concentrations, and ionic environments.
