Abstract
We have measured the diffusivity of λ-DNA molecules in approximately square nanochannels with effective sizes ranging from 117 nm to 260 nm at moderate ionic strength. The experimental results do not agree with the non-draining scaling predicted by blob theory. Rather, the data are consistent with the predictions of previous simulations of the Kirkwood diffusivity of a discrete wormlike chain model, without the need for any fitting parameters.
