ExtinctionCoefficient[n]extinction

determines the extinction coefficent at 260 (nm) of an average sequence of length n.

ExtinctionCoefficient[sequence]extinction

determines the extinction coefficent at 260 (nm) of the provided sequence.

ExtinctionCoefficient[strand]extinction

determine the extinction coefficent at 260 (nm) of the provided strand.

ExtinctionCoefficient[structure]extinction

determine the extinction coefficent at 260 (nm) of the provided structure.

ExtinctionCoefficient[object]extinction

Details

  • The Extinction Coefficient calculation is based on the formula as described in Object[Report, Literature, "id:pZx9jon4xKW9"]: V. Bloomfield et al, "Nucleic acids: structures, properties and functions." (2000) p174-176.
  • For DNA, the extinction coefficient and the hyperchromacity at 260 nm values can be found in Object[Report, Literature, "id:kEJ9mqR5EmJB"]: A. V. Tataurov et al, "Predicting ultraviolet spectrum of single stranded and double stranded deoxyribonucleic acids." (2008) p66-70.
