A non-self-complementary DNA tetramer has four base pair's and thus three distinct sites where an intercalating agent such as proflavin can slide in between adjacent base pairs at low temperature. However, two intercalating agents cannot occupy adjacent sites. If the equilibrium constant for binding to a single site is K, calculate the statistical weight of each bound species, the partition function Q, and the average number of bound proflavins per tetramer, as a function of proflavin concentration and K.
