Electrophoretic mobilities of DNA molecules ranging in length from 200 to 48 502 base pairs (bp) were measured in agarose gels with concentrations T = 0.5% to 1.3% at electric fields from E = 0.71 to 5.0 V/cm. This broad data set determines a range of conditions over which the new interpolation equa

โฆ Synopsis
We study the effect of electric field intensity and agarose gel concentration on the anomalous electrophoretic mobility recently predicted. by the biased reptation model and experimentally observed for linear DNA fragments electrophoresed in continuous electric fields. We show that high fields and low agarose concentrations eliminate the physical mechanism responsible for anomalous DNA mobility and band inversion, in good agreement with theory, thus restoring the monotonic mobility-size relationship necessary for unambiguous interpretation of the results of DNA gel electrophoresis.
