Separation of closed circular DNA from linear DNA by electrophoresis in two dimensions in agarose gels.
نویسنده
چکیده
A method that provides an easy, rapid, and reproducible way for separating closed circular DNA species from linear DNA and nicked circles is described. The method is based on the difference in mobility of form I (supercoiled) DNA and form II (nicked circles), and the differential mobility of relaxed circular DNA in the presence and absence of ethidium bromide (EtdBr). It can be used for detection or for purification of plasmid, episomal, or viral DNA from the bulk of cellular DNA, or from other DNA mixtures.

Detection of circular and linear herpesvirus DNA molecules in mammalian cells by gel electrophoresis.
A simple gel technique is described for the detection of large, covalently closed, circular DNA molecules in eucaryotic cells. The procedure is based on the electrophoretic technique of Eckhardt (T. Eckhardt, Plasmid 1:584-588, 1978) for detecting bacterial plasmids and has been modified for the detection of circular and linear extrachromosomal herpesvirus genomes in mammalian cells. Gentle lys...
متن کاملPreparative separation of DNA--ethidium bromide complexes by zonal density gradient centrifugation.
Restriction enzyme fragmentation and recombinant DNA technology offer powerful tools with which to study gene structure, organization, and expression. Frequently in these studies the need arises to purify on a preparative scale a specific DNA molecule from a mixture. The two most commonly used procedures in such purification are isopycnic centrifugation in dye-salt gradients and gel electrophor...
متن کاملDye titrations of covalently closed supercoiled DNA analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis.
Received December 29,1975 SUMMARY: We have developed a rapid electrophoretic technique for performing ethidium bromide dye titrations in cylindrical 0.7% agarose gels. The technique was used to analyze the extent of supercoiling in circular covalently closed SV40, ColEl, and pSClO1 DNA. We have estimated the superhelical densities of SV40, ColEl, and pSClO1 DNA to be -0.050, -0.078, and -0.085 ...
متن کاملPhysical properties and gel electrophoresis behavior of R12-derived plasmid DNAs.
A series of closed circular (I) plasmid DNAs has been derived from drug resistance factor R12, and the nicked circular (II) and linear (III) derivatives of these molecules prepared by irradiation in the presence of ethidium bromide and by treatment with restriction enzyme EcoRI, respectively. These DNAs encompass the molecular weight range 3.6 to 61 megadaltons. The base compositions range from...
متن کاملSection Ii Resolution and Recovery of Large Dna Fragments
This section describes the application of agarose gel electrophoresis to both analytical and preparative separation of DNA fragments. Standard agarose gels separate DNA fragments from ∼0.5 to 25 kb, whereas pulsed-field agarose gels resolve molecules from ∼10 to >2000 kb. Descriptions of standard and pulsed-field agarose gel electrophoresis as well as parameters affecting resolution of large DN...
