Abstract:
The use of plasmid DNA-based therapeutics relies on procedures that efficiently purify the supercoiled plasmid isoform. The present study describes a new strategy that uses a lysine ligand in affinity chromatography to efficiently separate supercoiled and open circular plasmid DNA isoforms. To achieve higher specificity in this chromatography it is essential to characterize the behaviour of binding/elution of supercoiled isoforms. The results show that the lysine support promotes complex interactions with supercoiled isoform, according to ionic strength and temperature manipulation.

Labeling DNA Probes
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...

Gel extraction follows five major steps: running gel electrophoresis to separate fragments, isolating the individual bands, extracting DNA from those bands, and removing the dye and salts from the extracted mixture to obtain pure DNA.
