title: [How a long linear molecule can be straightened on a support].
abstract: A relatively simple means is proposed for fastening a macromolecule such as DNA in a straight line on a dielectric support (which is essential for "fast reading" of sequences by physical methods). A randomly coiled molecule in solution can be caused to align with a "straightening electrode" under the support, as in a phase transition. Conditions are envisaged that should ensure processive settling without defects.
