Abstract
DNA-binding, green and yellow fluorescent probes with excellent brightness and high on/off ratios are reported. The probes are membrane permeable, live-cell compatible, and optimally matched to 405 nm and 514 nm laser lines, making them attractive alternatives to UV-excited and blue emissive Hoechst 33342 and DAPI nuclear stains. Their electronic structure was investigated by optical spectroscopy supported by TD-DFT calculations. DNA binding is accompanied by 27- to 75-fold emission enhancements, and linear dichroism demonstrates that one dye is a groove binder while the other intercalates into DNA.

Abstract
In the present study, the electrophoretic behavior of linear, supercoiled and nicked circular plasmid DNA in the presence of various intercalating dyes was characterized using pGL3 plasmid DNA as a model. The enzymatic digestion of pGL3 plasmid DNA with HindIIIwas monitored by capillary electrophoresis coupled with laser-induced fluorescence detection (CE-LIF). Nicked circular plasmid DNA was found to be relatively sensitive to enzymes, and was almost digested into the linear conformer after 10-min incubation, indicating that nicked circular plasmid DNA has little chance of targeting and entering the cell nucleus. Partly digested plasmid DNA containing only linear and supercoiled conformers can be used as a standard to confirm the migration order of plasmid DNA. In methylcellulose (MC) solution with YO-PRO-1 or YOYO-1, linear plasmid DNA eluted first, followed by supercoiled and nicked plasmid DNA, and nicked plasmid DNA eluted as a broad peak. With SYBR Green 1, nicked plasmid DNA eluted first as three sharp peaks, followed by linear and supercoiled plasmid DNA. The nuclear plasmid DNA from two transfected cell lines was successfully analyzed using the present procedure. Similar results were obtained with an analysis time of seconds using microchip electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection (mu-CE-LIF). To our knowledge, these results represent the first reported analysis of nuclear plasmid DNA from transfection cells by CE-LIF or mu-CE-LIF without pre-preparation, suggesting that the present procedure is a promising alternative method for evaluating transfection efficiency of DNA delivery systems.

Abstract
The structural changes produced by the minor-groove binding ligand DAPI (4',6-diamidine-2-phenylindole) on individual strands of trinucleotide repeat sequences were detected by electrophoretic band-shift analysis and related to their effects on DNA replication in vitro. Among the 20 possible single-stranded trinucleotide repeats, only the T-rich strand of the AAT.ATT triplet exhibits an observable fluorescence band and a change in electrophoretic mobility due to the drug binding. This is attributable to the property of DAPI that favours folding of the random coil ATT strand into a fast-migrating hairpin structure by a minor-groove binding mechanism. Electrophoretic characteristics of AAT, ACT, AGT, ATG and ATC are unchanged by DAPI, suggesting the crucial role of T.T with respect to A.A, C.C and G.G mismatch, in favouring the binding properties and the structural features of the ATT-DAPI complexes. Primer extension experiments, using the Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase I, demonstrate that such a selective structural change at ATT targets presents a marked property to stall DNA replication in vitro in comparison with the complementary AAT and a random GC-rich sequence. The results suggest a novel molecular mechanism of action of the DNA minor-groove binding ligand DAPI.

Abstract
The periodic extension-contraction motion observed for long DNA molecules undergoing agarose gel electrophoresis in a constant field is believed to be important for the separation mechanism in pulsed field gel electrophoresis. These oscillations give rise to an overshoot and an undershoot in the ensemble orientation of DNA in the beginning of a field pulse, when the molecules oscillate coherently. After approximately one oscillation cycle, the coherence between the molecules is lost, and a constant, cycle-averaged orientation is reached. In this paper we simulate this build-up of the ensemble orientation of DNA by using a distribution of oscillation times (the time between two consecutive compressed conformations) determined by fluorescence microscopy for YOYO-stained DNA. Six different orientation profiles, describing the orientation during one oscillation cycle, were used. The simulated orientation responses are compared with an orientation response measured by linear dichroism (LD) under the same experimental conditions as in the microscopy study. We found that the choice of orientation profile during the oscillation is important. Best agreement between the simulated and the experimental orientation response was obtained for an orientation profile based on a theoretical model by Schurr and Smith (Biopolymers 1990, 29, 1161-1165). The influence of the distribution of oscillation times and its standard deviation on the orientation response was also investigated. Furthermore, simulations at different field strengths and DNA sizes were performed and found to agree quite well with the experimentally obtained LD data.

Abstract
Available data from spectroscopic and microscopy studies of electrophoretic orientation of long DNA (above 40 kbp) in agarose gels is analyzed on the basis of the fact that the migration in constant fields is cyclic in nature. Defining a cycle period as the time between two consecutive compact states, a simple model is used to obtain data on the average time period (< T >) and the step length (< L >) of the migration cycle from spectroscopic measurements of the dynamics of helix orientation and center-of-mass velocity. Furthermore, the degree of orientation is used to analyze tube-orientation and DNA stretching contributions to < L > and < T >. Finally, the average electrophoretic velocity v = < L >/< T > is analyzed in terms of < L > and < T > for different DNA sizes (Lc), field strengths (E), and gel concentrations (A). The main results of the analysis are: (i) the increase and saturation of the electrophoretic mobility with increasing E is mainly governed by < L > via the degree of DNA stretching, (ii) DNA molecules of different sizes migrate with the same velocity because < L > and < T > both increase approximately linearly with Lc, and (iii) migration in a denser gel is slower mainly because < T > increases, while the step length is approximately constant. Assuming the charge Q of DNA is the same as in free solution, these results suggest that the reason the fundamental reptation equation for the electrophoretic mobility mu = (Q/zeta) < (hx/Lt)2 > also applies in the presence of strong fluctuations in the tube length Lt, and end-to-end distance hx, is that the friction coefficient zeta for motion along the tube is lower the more stretched the DNA is.
