## Abstract We have measured the specific viscosity of closed circular PM2 DNA in the presence of concentrations of ethidium bromide ranging up to 5 mg/ml. Both native viral PM2 DNA I and enzymatically prepared relaxed, closed circular PM2 DNA I~0~ exhibit a complex dependence of the specific visco
The circular dichroism of supercoiled DNA has been calculated as a function of superhelix density using the exciton and free-electron models. The two models agree with each other, and with experiment, at large negative superhelix densities, but disagrees at lower superhelix densities. The reasons ar
A simple method for directly dete~in~ng the superhelix density of closed circular DNAs by ethidium bromide titration using agarose ge1 electrophoresis in tubes containing increasing concentrations of the dye has been deveIoped. Since the positively charged dye migrates toward the cathode in a direct
