Abstract:
:The dynamics of individual DNA molecules undergoing orthogonal field alternating gel electrophoresis (OFAGE) have been studied by use of T2 DNA molecules labeled with a dye and visualized with a fluorescence microscope. The mechanism of reorientation used by a molecule to align itself in the direction of the new orthogonal field depends on the degree of extension of the chain immediately before the application of this field. The formation of kinks is promoted when time is allowed between the application of the two orthogonal fields so that the molecule attains a partially relaxed configuration. In this case, the chain appears bunched up in domains moving along the contour of the molecule. These regions are found to be the locations where the kinks are formed upon application of the second field perpendicular to the chain. The formation of kinks provides a significant retardation of the reorientation of the molecules, relative to molecules that do not form kinks, and appears to play an important role in the fractionation attained with OFAGE. A classification of various reorientation mechanisms observed in molecules that form kinks is presented.
