Abstract The statistical mechanical theory of the helix‐coil transition of DNA has been recently discussed by one of the authors, who considered an assembly of DNA molecules with a Markoff distribution of nucleotide sequences. The present communication improves upon the above mentioned theory by introducing approximate normalization factors for the unnormalized statistical weights of finding a given molecule of the assembly in a given microscopic state.
