摘要

Megabase DNA molecules become trapped in agarose gels during electrophoresis if the electric field exceeds a few volts per cm. Fluorescence microscopy reveals that these molecules invariably arrest in U-shaped conformations. The field-vs.-size dependence for trapping indicates that a critical molecular tension is required for trapping. The size of unli- gated #lambda#-ladders, sheared during gel electrophoresis at a given field, coincides with the size of molecules trapped at that field, suggesting that both processes occur through nick melting near the vertex of the U-shape. Consistently, molecules nicked by exposure to UV radiation trap more readily than unexposed ones. The critical trapping tension at the vertex is estimated to be 15 pN, a force sufftcient to melt nicks bent around gel fibers, and, according to our model, trap a molecule. Strate- gies to reduce. molecular tension and avoid trapping are discussed.
