摘要
The free solution mobilities of single- and double-stranded DNA molecules of various molecular weights have been measured by capillary electrophoresis in solutions of constant ionic strength containing a common anion and fifteen different monovalent cations. In solutions with the same ionic composition, the mobilities of different DNA molecules can vary by up to 20%, depending on molecular weight, the number of strands, and the presence or absence of A-tracts, runs of four or more contiguous adenine residues. Importantly, the mobilities observed for the same DNA sample can vary by up to 40% in solutions containing different cations. The mobility differences observed for the same DNA in solutions containing different cations cannot be rationalized by differences in the anhydrous radii or intrinsic conductivities of the various cations, or by the sequence-dependent binding of certain cations to A-tracts. Instead, the observed mobilities are linearly correlated with the average number of water-water hydrogen bonds that are present in solutions containing different cations. The mobilities are also correlated with the viscosity B coefficients of the various cations and with the rotational correlation times frictional coefficients observed for water molecules in solutions containing different cations. Hence, monovalent cations modify the free solution mobility of DNA primarily by perturbing the hydrogen-bonded structure of water, affecting the friction experienced by the migrating DNA molecules during electrophoresis.
