S ize - dependent free solution DNA electrophoresis in structured microfluidic systems
A new concept based on microstructuring techniques is presented to achieve size-dependent electrophoretic migration of DNA in free solution. Topographically structured microfluidic channels with periodical cavities in the range of the radius of gyration of the tested DNA molecules (, 3 mm) are produced by moulding of polydimethylsiloxane on a master wafer fabricated by contact lithography of SU...
متن کاملEnd-labeled free-solution electrophoresis of DNA.
DNA is a free-draining polymer. This subtle but "unfortunate" property of highly charged polyelectrolytes makes it impossible to separate nucleic acids by free-flow electrophoresis. This is why one must typically use a sieving matrix, such as a gel or an entangled polymer solution, in order to obtain some electrophoretic size separation. An alternative approach consists of breaking the charge t...
متن کاملSequence Dependent Mobility of Short Oligonucleotides in Free- Solution Electrophoresis
INTRODUCTION Since completion of the human genome project, many additional organisms have been sequenced and ~1.8 million human genetic Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified and documented by the SNP consortium, http://snp.cshl.org. While the technology workhorses for these efforts have been gel-based and capillary electrophoresis DNA sequencers, there is increased interes...
متن کاملPhotopatterned free-standing polyacrylamide gels for microfluidic protein electrophoresis.
Designed for compatibility with slab-gel polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) reagents and instruments, we detail development of free-standing polyacrylamide gel (fsPAG) microstructures supporting electrophoretic performance rivalling that of microfluidic platforms. For the protein electrophoresis study described here, fsPAGE lanes are comprised of a sample reservoir and contiguous separat...
متن کاملA capillary electrophoresis mobility shift assay for protein-DNA binding affinities free in solution.
Quantitative determination of dissociation constants for DNA-protein complexes will help clarify the molecular mechanisms of transcription, replication and DNA repair. A practical capillary electrophoresis mobility shift assay (CEMSA) for protein-DNA affinities free in solution is presented. The method is fast and simple, precise and general. The speed (<2 min separations) and simplicity derive...
