Physicochemical characterization of mitochondrial DNA from pea leaves

R Kolodner et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1972 Jul.

Abstract

The mitochondrial DNA from pea leaves exists in a circular conformation. 25% of the circular molecules exist as supercoils, and 10% of the molecules are dimers. The molecular weight of mitochondrial DNA is about 66 to 70 x 10(6) by electron microscopy, and 74 x 10(6) from its renaturation kinetics. No evidence for inter- and intramolecular heterogeneity is found.
