Tm. Nair et al., THEORETICAL PERMUTATION GEL-ELECTROPHORETIC ANALYSIS OF A CURVED DNA FRAGMENT LOCATED IN CIRCULAR PERMUTATION, Electrophoresis, 17(4), 1996, pp. 633-641
Using the theoretical model for DNA curvature, we analyzed a set of fr
agments with a curved insert located in circular permutation. The theo
retical permutation analysis of each of the cyclically located fragmen
ts reveals the presence of a shifting molecular bend locus. The deline
ation of the molecular bend locus associated with the fragments obtain
ed by a second permutation helps in providing an explanation for the d
ifferential mobility behavior of the fragments.
