Abstract

The molecular weight of native DNA is shown to decrease by at least a factor of two on denaturation by heat or alkali. This result is obtained only if low‐angle (<30Β°) light‐scattering measurements are used. High‐angle measurements (>30Β°) do not reveal a decrease in molecular weight on denaturation due to the incorrect value for native DNA. The dn/dc value for both native and denatured DNA is 0.166 ml/g Β± 0.003 ml/g. Methods are described for the clarification of native and denatured DNA solutions for light scattering by the use of membrane filters.

A low-angle light-scattering instrument has been used to measure molecular weights of native calf-thymus and TT DNA. Molecular weights obtained by extrapolation of angular data to 0" from measurements above 30" are less than molecular weights from extrapolation of data taken at low angles (below 30"

Recombinant gelatins are currently evaluated as new excipients for pharmaceutical formulations. They can differ from nonrecombinant gelatins because of intentional alteration of the amino acid sequence and specific properties of the expression systems used. This may affect their solution behavior. I
