PAGE experiment with DB351 (A) and DB1213 (B) cast in the gel. Duplexes were incubated with compound prior to electrophoresis. Samples were digested with Bal-31 exonuclease prior to electrophoresis as indicated. Supplementary Materials Figure 2. PAGE experiment with no compound present (A). Plot of actual length squared (L act 2 ) versus relative length minus one (R L -1) are shown in the absence of compound (open triangles) and presence of DB75 (solid triangles) for cis A 5 (purple), cis ATATA (red), and cis A5-ATATA (green) duplexes (B). The sequence for the mixed duplex is shown in the bottom of the figure. Sequences not discussed in this paper were removed from this gel.
