In all DNA molecules (RNA too) the same temperature opens up/denatures

New Study Sheds Light On 'Dark States' In DNA
Science Daily - Chemists at Ohio State University have probed an unusual
high-energy state produced in single nucleotides -- the building blocks of
DNA and RNA -- when they absorb ultraviolet (UV) light.

Ventists,
Here's a possible clue to helping your OOL scenario.
I'll start with a quote:
