title: On the mobility behavior of a curved DNA fragment located in circular permutation.
abstract: Experimental and theoretical investigations on the mobility behavior of a set of permuted fragments with a K-DNA insert is reported. The fragments with the permuted flanking sequences have the K-DNA insert located differentially with respect to the fragment ends. The fragment wherein the insert is located in the center showed maximum retardation as compared to fragments where the insert was at the end. The experimental analysis is also in accord with the theoretical investigation.
