77. While melting is strictly concerned with the crystal to liquid state transition, we adopt the practice of the biological sciences in referring to the disruption of highly organized aggregates in fluid media as melting; see: Saenger W. Principles of Nucleic Acid Structure; Springer-Verlag: New York, 1984; p 143.
