Abstract

Seven duplex DNA preparations have been structurally analyzed by hydroxyapatite column chromatography and an ethidium bromide fluorescence technique. Significant contamination of one preparation with single-stranded DNA was detected by hydroxyapatite column chromatography. Five of the other six preparations were found to contain significant single-stranded regions by the ethidium bromide fluorescence technique. Synthetic poly dAT was found to be duplex in structure. The presence of single-stranded regions considerably influenced DNA binding results in a radioimmunoassay.
