✦ Synopsis


We have investigated several experimental factors which affect the accurate determination of electrophoretic mobilities of circular and linear DNAs in agarose gels. We demonstrate that: (1) The mobility of individual DNA species is affected by the total mass in the sample loaded. The increased mobility and band distortion observed become apparent when the DNA mass exceeds approximately 0.2 pg per 0.15 cm* of surface area in the loading well.

(2) The migration velocity of a given DNA species depends on the coefficient of electroendosmosis (-m,) of the agarose preparations used. In the range 0.081 s -m, I 0.441, the DNA migration velocity is proportional to (-m ,)-".S.

## Abstract The electrophoretic migration of rigid rodlike DNA structures with well defined topologies has been investigated in polyacrylamide (PA) hydrogels prepared by copolymerization of acrylamide and __N, N__′‐methylenebisacrylamide. Previous studies have reported structural and dynamic charac
