D. Umeno et M. Maeda, Temperature-induced precipitation of specific DNA fragments using DNA-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) conjugate, CHEM LETT, (5), 1999, pp. 381-382
Soluble conjugates between double stranded DNA and poly(N-isopropylacrylami
de) (polyNIPAAm) was synthesized and applied to the selective separation of
DNA fragments: the target fragments were connected to the DNA-polyNIPAAm c
onjugate with the aid of T4 DNA ligase, followed by temperature-induced pre
cipitation. Target DNA was collected from the resultant precipitate in high
purity.
