Figure 10

Sequence-averaged bubble and helix execution times. The bubble time per basepair (red) and helix time per basepair (green) averaged over all sequences are plotted versus the normalized temperature τ for each of the helicity values listed in Figure 8. The melting curve (blue) shows the helicity Θ (on the right vertical axis) as a function of τ, indicating the melting midpoint: Θ = 0.5 at τ = 0.
