## Abstract The effect of solvent viscosity on DNA renaturation rates has been investigated as a function of temperature for a number of solvent systems. The results are all consistent with a microscopic viscosity limitation of the rate determining step. Rates of renaturation in perchlorate and qua

Total intensity, Rayleigh light scattering has been used to measure the rms radius, second virial coefficient, persistence length, and excluded volume of homogeneous T7 bacteriophage DNA as a function of Na+ concentration (0.005 to 3.0 M). All parameters decrease sharply as "a+] increases, and tend
## Abstract Solvents which accelerate DNA renaturation rates have been investigated. Addition of NaCl or LiCl to DNA in 2.4__M__ Et~4~NCl initially increases renaturation rates at 45Β°C and then leads to a loss of secondβorder behavior. The greatest accelerations are seen with LiCl and dilute DNA. V
me use of electron microscopic images to extract information concerning the parameters that characterize the flexibility of linear polymers in solution has been described by several authors.'-4 These attempts clearly rely on the hypothesis that interaction with the supporting substrate does not alte
## Abstract The thermal stability and renaturation kinetics of DNA have been studied as a function of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) concentration. Increasing the concentration of DMSO lowers the melting temperature of DNA but results in an increased secondβorder renaturation rate. For example, in a DNA
## Abstract Fluorescence depolarization was used to measure the rate of renaturation of T2 DNA, which had been modified by chloroacetaldehyde. Rates were measured on DNA samples with 5β15% of the base pairs modified and were found to agree with rates determined by DNA absorbance kinetics at 260 nm.
