I want to calculate the extinction coefficient of duplex, is it the sum of extinction coefficient of individual strand ? Or is it the average ?
The answer is no. The extinction coefficient of double-stranded DNA is less than the sum of the extinction coefficients of the individual strands. This property is known as hypochromicity. It is caused by the stacking of the bases in dsDNA.
Is there any way to determine the extinction coefficient than ?
Have a look at this:
