Purifying DNA

... piece of DNA? All of the molecules will have roughly the same charge. All of them are helical rods. OK, there will be some variation in length and rigidity, but that will get you but a crude separation unless the difference in size is pretty large and distinct; you can separate a plasmid from chromosomal ...

The Fiber Disease

... rod (~d^4). By polymerizing the unsaturated bonds of assembled copolymers, fluid worms are converted to solid-core worms, extending the bending rigidity to millimeters. Through partial crosslinking, polymerized worms are shown to lock in a spontaneous curvature at a novel fluid-to-solid percolation ...
