RESUMO
The migration properties of a series of supercoiled plasmids ranging in size from 4 to 16 kilobases (kb) have been analyzed by orthogonal-field-alternation gel electrophoresis (OFAGE). These circular DNAs enter the gel and are well resolved. Unlike linear DNA molecules, the relative mobilities of these plasmids are constant over a wide range of pulse times, from 10 to 120 seconds, as well as over a broad range of total running times, from 6 to 24 hours. Electrophoresis of supercoiled, relaxed, and nicked open circular forms as well as topoisomers of pBR322 shows that the extent of supercoiling has a dramatic effect on plasmid migration on OFAGE. Several practical applications for exploiting the different migration properties of circular and linear DNA molecules on OFAGE are presented.
