Under certain pH conditions, biological macromolecules are usually charged. When they are placed in an electric field, they will migrate to the electrode with opposite charge properties at a certain speed. The migration speed is called electrophoresis rate. [1]
Electrophoresis rate vs electric field intensity , carried by molecules Net charge Is proportional to the number of molecules and medium Of friction coefficient Inversely. Friction coefficient and molecular size, configuration and medium viscosity of
Under physiological conditions, DNA The phosphate group in the molecular sugar phosphate skeleton is ionized, so DNA is actually poly anion State, moving to the positive direction in the electric field.
Sugar- phosphoric acid The skeleton is structurally repeated, so an equal amount of double stranded DNA carries almost an equal amount of net charge.
If the electric field intensity is constant and the electrophoresis medium is the same, the electrophoresis rate depends on nucleic acid Molecular size and configuration. Molecules with similar configurations: the larger the molecular weight, the slower the migration.
Molecules with the same molecular weight (such as plasmid):
cccDNA The migration is the fastest, followed by L-DNA, and ocDNA is the slowest.
