You should add some salt when you anneal!!! The duplex is highly negatively charged, so adding even a small amount (like 10mM NaCl) will help with charge screening, thus making the two strands less repellant to each other. Buffer is also always a good idea. At low pH and high temp you'll hy

Dear All Sorry for non-crystallography question. I have synthesized two complementary strands of 16 bases in length for making duplex DNA and co-crystallization with DNA binding protein. I have mixed two complementary strands of 1:1 molar ratio (0.5 mM) in water and concentrated to 1.5 mM (Duplex),
