RESUMO
Circular DNAs have been shown to migrate in an unusual manner during field inversion gel electrophoresis (FIGE) and orthogonal field alternating gel electrophoresis (OFAGE). We studied the effect of varying pulse time and agarose concentration on the electrophoretic mobility of supercoiled (ccc) DNAs ranging from 2 kbp to 16 kbp during FIGE and contoured homogeneous electric fields (CHEF). Both supercoiled and linear molecules display a minimum mobility as a function of pulse time in a CHEF apparatus. Linear and cccDNAs of the same size are differently affected by pulse time. Pulse-time dependence was observed for cccDNAs in both systems. Pulse-time dependence in FIGE is very small at a 1.0% agarose concentration, but is pronounced in 0.8% or 1.2% gels.
