"""Calculate the melting temperature of nucleotide sequences.
This module contains three different methods to calculate the melting
temperature of oligonucleotides:
1. Tm_Wallace: 'Rule of thumb'
2. Tm_GC: Empirical formulas based on GC content. Salt and mismatch corrections
can be included.
3. Tm_NN: Calculation based on nearest neighbor thermodynamics. Several tables
for DNA/DNA, DNA/RNA and RNA/RNA hybridizations are included.
Correction for mismatches, dangling ends, salt concentration and other
additives are available.
General parameters for most Tm methods:
- seq -- A Biopython sequence object or a string.
- check -- Checks if the sequence is valid for the given method (default=
True). In general, whitespaces and non-base characters are removed and
characters are converted to uppercase. RNA will be backtranscribed.
- strict -- Do not allow base characters or neighbor duplex keys (e.g.
'AT/NA') that could not or not unambigiously be evaluated for the respective
method (default=True). Note that W (= A or T) and S (= C or G) are not
ambiguous for Tm_Wallace and Tm_GC. If 'False', average values (if
applicable) will be used.
This module is not able to detect self-complementary and it will not use
alignment tools to align an oligonucleotide sequence to its target sequence.
Thus it can not detect dangling-ends and mismatches by itself (don't even think
about bulbs and loops). These parameters have to be handed over to the
respective method.
Other public methods of this module:
- make_table : To create a table with thermodynamic data.
- salt_correction: To adjust Tm to a given salt concentration by different
formulas. This method is called from Tm_GC and Tm_NN but may
also be accessed 'manually'. It returns a correction term, not
a corrected Tm!
- chem_correction: To adjust Tm regarding the chemical additives DMSO and
formaldehyde. The method returns a corrected Tm. Chemical
correction is not an integral part of the Tm methods and must
be called additionally.
For example:
>>> from Bio.SeqUtils import MeltingTemp as mt
>>> from Bio.Seq import Seq
>>> mystring = 'CGTTCCAAAGATGTGGGCATGAGCTTAC'
>>> myseq = Seq(mystring)
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_Wallace(mystring))
84.00
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_Wallace(myseq))
84.00
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_GC(myseq))
58.97
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_NN(myseq))
60.32
Using different thermodynamic tables, e.g. from Breslauer '86 or Sugimoto '96:
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_NN(myseq, nn_table=mt.DNA_NN1)) # Breslauer '86
72.19
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_NN(myseq, nn_table=mt.DNA_NN2)) # Sugimoto '96
65.47
Tables for RNA and RNA/DNA hybrids are included:
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_NN(myseq, nn_table=mt.RNA_NN1)) # Freier '86
73.35
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_NN(myseq, nn_table=mt.R_DNA_NN1)) # Sugimoto '95
58.45
Several types of salc correction (for Tm_NN and Tm_GC):
>>> for i in range(1, 8):
... print("Type: %d, Tm: %0.2f" % (i, Tm_NN(myseq, saltcorr=i)))
...
Type: 1, Tm: 54.27
Type: 2, Tm: 54.02
Type: 3, Tm: 59.60
Type: 4, Tm: 60.64
Type: 5, Tm: 60.32
Type: 6, Tm: 59.78
Type: 7, Tm: 59.78
Correction for other monovalent cations (K+, Tris), Mg2+ and dNTPs according
to von Ahsen et al. (2001) or Owczarzy et al. (2008) (for Tm_NN and Tm_GC):
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_NN(myseq, Na=50, Tris=10))
60.79
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_NN(myseq, Na=50, Tris=10, Mg=1.5))
67.39
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_NN(myseq, Na=50, Tris=10, Mg=1.5, saltcorr=7))
66.81
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_NN(myseq, Na=50, Tris=10, Mg=1.5, dNTPs=0.6,
... saltcorr=7))
66.04
Dangling ends and mismatches, e.g.::
Oligo: CGTTCCaAAGATGTGGGCATGAGCTTAC CGTTCCaAAGATGTGGGCATGAGCTTAC
::::::X::::::::::::::::::::: or ::::::X:::::::::::::::::::::
Template: GCAAGGcTTCTACACCCGTACTCGAATG TGCAAGGcTTCTACACCCGTACTCGAATGC
Here:
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_NN('CGTTCCAAAGATGTGGGCATGAGCTTAC'))
60.32
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_NN('CGTTCCAAAGATGTGGGCATGAGCTTAC',
... c_seq='GCAAGGcTTCTACACCCGTACTCGAATG'))
55.39
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_NN('CGTTCCAAAGATGTGGGCATGAGCTTAC', shift=1,
... c_seq='TGCAAGGcTTCTACACCCGTACTCGAATGC'))
55.69
The same for RNA:
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_NN('CGUUCCAAAGAUGUGGGCAUGAGCUUAC',
... c_seq='UGCAAGGcUUCUACACCCGUACUCGAAUGC',
... shift=1, nn_table=mt.RNA_NN3,
... de_table=mt.RNA_DE1))
73.00
Note, that thermodynamic data are not available for all kind of mismatches,
e.g. most double mismatches or terminal mismatches combined with dangling ends:
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_NN('CGTTCCAAAGATGTGGGCATGAGCTTAC',
... c_seq='TtCAAGGcTTCTACACCCGTACTCGAATGC',
... shift=1))
Traceback (most recent call last):
ValueError: no thermodynamic data for neighbors '.C/TT' available
Make your own tables, or update/extend existing tables. E.g., add values for
locked nucleotides. Here, 'locked A' (and its complement) should be represented
by '1':
>>> mytable = mt.make_table(oldtable=mt.DNA_NN3,
... values={'A1/T1':(-6.608, -17.235),
... '1A/1T':(-6.893, -15.923)})
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_NN('CGTTCCAAAGATGTGGGCATGAGCTTAC'))
60.32
>>> print('%0.2f' % mt.Tm_NN('CGTTCCA1AGATGTGGGCATGAGCTTAC',
... nn_table=mytable, check=False))
... # 'check' must be False, otherwise '1' would be discarded

Anal Biochem 209: 284-290)
2. Tm = 81.5 + 0.41(%GC) - 675/N - %mismatch
'QuikChange' formula. Recommended (by the manufacturer) for the
design of primers for QuikChange mutagenesis.
3. Tm = 81.5 + 0.41(%GC) - 675/N + 16.6 x log[Na+]
(Marmur & Doty 1962, J Mol Biol 5: 109-118; Schildkraut & Lifson
1965, Biopolymers 3: 195-208)
4. Tm = 81.5 + 0.41(%GC) - 500/N + 16.6 x log([Na+]/(1.0 + 0.7 x
[Na+])) - %mismatch
(Wetmur 1991, Crit Rev Biochem Mol Biol 126: 227-259). This is the
standard formula in approximative mode of MELTING 4.3.
5. Tm = 78 + 0.7(%GC) - 500/N + 16.6 x log([Na+]/(1.0 + 0.7 x [Na+]))
- %mismatch
(Wetmur 1991, Crit Rev Biochem Mol Biol 126: 227-259). For RNA.
6. Tm = 67 + 0.8(%GC) - 500/N + 16.6 x log([Na+]/(1.0 + 0.7 x [Na+]))
- %mismatch
(Wetmur 1991, Crit Rev Biochem Mol Biol 126: 227-259). For RNA/DNA
hybrids.
7. Tm = 81.5 + 0.41(%GC) - 600/N + 16.6 x log[Na+]
Used by Primer3Plus to calculate the product Tm. Default set.
8. Tm = 77.1 + 0.41(%GC) - 528/N + 11.7 x log[Na+]
(von Ahsen et al. 2001, Clin Chem 47: 1956-1961). Recommended 'as a
tradeoff between accuracy and ease of use'.
- userset: Tuple of four values for A, B, C, and D. Usersets override
valuesets.
- Na, K, Tris, Mg, dNTPs: Concentration of the respective ions [mM]. If
any of K, Tris, Mg and dNTPS is non-zero, a 'sodium-equivalent'
concentration is calculated and used for salt correction (von Ahsen et
al., 2001).
- saltcorr: Type of salt correction (see method salt_correction).
Default=0. 0 or None means no salt correction.
- mismatch: If 'True' (default) every 'X' in the sequence is counted as
mismatch.

"""Return the Tm using nearest neighbor thermodynamics.
Arguments:
- seq: The primer/probe sequence as string or Biopython sequence object.
For RNA/DNA hybridizations seq must be the RNA sequence.
- c_seq: Complementary sequence. The sequence of the template/target in
3'->5' direction. c_seq is necessary for mismatch correction and
dangling-ends correction. Both corrections will automatically be
applied if mismatches or dangling ends are present. Default=None.
- shift: Shift of the primer/probe sequence on the template/target
sequence, e.g.::
shift=0 shift=1 shift= -1
Primer (seq): 5' ATGC... 5' ATGC... 5' ATGC...
Template (c_seq): 3' TACG... 3' CTACG... 3' ACG...
The shift parameter is necessary to align seq and c_seq if they have
different lengths or if they should have dangling ends. Default=0
- table: Thermodynamic NN values, eight tables are implemented:
For DNA/DNA hybridizations:
- DNA_NN1: values from Breslauer et al. (1986)
- DNA_NN2: values from Sugimoto et al. (1996)
- DNA_NN3: values from Allawi & SantaLucia (1997) (default)
- DNA_NN4: values from SantaLucia & Hicks (2004)
For RNA/RNA hybridizations:
- RNA_NN1: values from Freier et al. (1986)
- RNA_NN2: values from Xia et al. (1998)
- RNA_NN3: values from Chen et al. (2012)
For RNA/DNA hybridizations:
- R_DNA_NN1: values from Sugimoto et al. (1995)
Note that ``seq`` must be the RNA sequence.
Use the module's maketable method to make a new table or to update one
one of the implemented tables.
- tmm_table: Thermodynamic values for terminal mismatches.
Default: DNA_TMM1 (SantaLucia & Peyret, 2001)
- imm_table: Thermodynamic values for internal mismatches, may include
insosine mismatches. Default: DNA_IMM1 (Allawi & SantaLucia, 1997-1998;
Peyret et al., 1999; Watkins & SantaLucia, 2005)
- de_table: Thermodynamic values for dangling ends:
- DNA_DE1: for DNA. Values from Bommarito et al. (2000) (default)
- RNA_DE1: for RNA. Values from Turner & Mathews (2010)
- dnac1: Concentration of the higher concentrated strand [nM]. Typically
this will be the primer (for PCR) or the probe. Default=25.
- dnac2: Concentration of the lower concentrated strand [nM]. In PCR this
is the template strand which concentration is typically very low and may
be ignored (dnac2=0). In oligo/oligo hybridization experiments, dnac1
equals dnac1. Default=25.
MELTING and Primer3Plus use k = [Oligo(Total)]/4 by default. To mimic
this behaviour, you have to divide [Oligo(Total)] by 2 and assign this
concentration to dnac1 and dnac2. E.g., Total oligo concentration of
50 nM in Primer3Plus means dnac1=25, dnac2=25.
- selfcomp: Is the sequence self-complementary? Default=False. If 'True'
the primer is thought binding to itself, thus dnac2 is not considered.
- Na, K, Tris, Mg, dNTPs: See method 'Tm_GC' for details. Defaults: Na=50,
K=0, Tris=0, Mg=0, dNTPs=0.
- saltcorr: See method 'Tm_GC'. Default=5. 0 means no salt correction.
