Abstract

Brownian dynamics computer simulation technique was applied to investigate DNA dynamics in gel electrophoresis. Under a constant electric field of moderate strength, large DNA chains take stretched and contracted conformations alternatively during the migration. The conformation change is quasi-periodic under certain conditions, and its frequency is closely related to the experimentally-found suitable frequency of pulse field gel electrophoresis.
