    This study presents a new theory for DNA chain scission filtration, enabling universal calibration of membrane separation techniques. The model accurately predicts DNA damage detection, improving sensitivity in biological research.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Molecular Biology
    • Physical Chemistry

    Background:

    • DNA chain scission is a critical event in biological processes.
    • Current methods for evaluating DNA damage rely on empirical membrane separation techniques with high reproducibility and sensitivity.
    • A theoretical framework is needed to better understand and optimize these separation methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a simple theory for the filtration of coiled macrosolutes with random size distributions through porous membranes.
    • To provide a universal calibration for filter elution methods used in assessing DNA damage.
    • To establish a theoretical basis for understanding the governing factors in DNA damage detection via membrane filtration.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a quasi-steady flow transport equation for coiled macrosolutes through porous membranes.

  • Incorporated reflection coefficient (sigma j) based on partition constant (Kj) and frictional forces (Rj).
  • Utilized a simplified excluded volume theory for flexible polymers to evaluate solute-filled volume (Vs) and radius of gyration (rGj).

    • Main Results:

    • The theory successfully models the filtration process, with solute concentration (nj) as a function of elution volume (V).
    • The process is shown to be governed by the average dimensions of the coiled macrosolutes.
    • Experimental results show excellent agreement with the theoretical predictions, validating the model.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed theory offers a universal calibration for filter elution methods in detecting DNA chain scission.
    • Understanding the role of coil dimensions provides a more precise approach to evaluating DNA damage.
    • This theoretical advancement enhances the sensitivity and reliability of membrane separation techniques in biological and biochemical analyses.
