a model of DNA melting as alternating helical and loop segments in which loop entropy can make the denaturation a true phase transition.

In biophysics, Poland-Scheraga model refers to a model of DNA melting as alternating helical and loop segments in which loop entropy can make the denaturation a true phase transition. This meaning comes from Poland (1966) in The Journal of Chemical Physics.[1]
