Abstract
AbstractThe electrophoresis mobilities of native calf thymus DNA adsorbed on the charged solid particles were measured by a micro‐electrophoretic method as functions of pII, ionic strength, and DNA concentration. The mobility data confirm the adsorption of DNA both on the positively charged alumina and negatively charged resin particles at wide range of pH and ionic strength. The mobility data also indicate significant DNA adsorption by negatively charged glass in the acidic range of pH. The electrophoretic mobilities of DNA adsorbed on different substrate particles under identical conditions do not differ widely, indicating the major role of the adsorbed DNA rather than the covered substrate in controlling the charge behavior of the particle. The mobilities of the adsorbed DNA at salt pH are of a comparable order of magnitude to those for the dissolved DNA in solution. The mobility of the adsorbed heat‐denatured and alkali‐denatured DNA is lower than that of the native adsorbed DNA under identical conditions of pH and ionic strength.
