Sizing of single-stranded regions in double-stranded DNA by preparative benzoylated DEAE-cellulose chromatography.

Abstract:

:The concentration of caffeine required to elute wholly single-stranded DNA from benzoylated DEAE-cellulose is proportional to the polynucleotide length. The use of benzoylated DEAE-cellulose chromatography for isolating and sizing single-stranded regions in double-stranded DNA has been examined using a series of hybrid molecules. Restriction fragments of the replicating form of bacteriophage luminal diameter X174 were hybridized to the intact 'plus' strand, thereby forming hybrids having single- and/or double-stranded regions in the kilobase range. A series of such hybrid preparations were subject to caffeine concentration gradient elution from benzoylated DEAE-cellulose. After logarithmic transformation, a linear relationship (R = 0.94) could be demonstrated between eluting caffeine concentration and single-stranded length, irrespective of the length of associated double-stranded regions or the location, within a given fragment, of unpaired nucleotides. Benzoylated DEAE-cellulose chromatography may therefore be used to separate and characterize, on a preparative scale, double-stranded DNA containing single-stranded regions.
