Partial denaturation of mouse DNA in preparative CsCl density gradients at alkaline pH

Abstract
A new technique--partial denaturation of DNA in equilibrium CsCl density gradients at pH 11.4--is used to determine the distribution of intermediate states in the melting of mouse DNA. When the technique is applied in the preparative ultracentrifuge, the DNA is fractionated according to stability. Neutralization of the partially denatured fractions results in the recovery of most of the DNA in its native form. The individual fractions are more homogeneous than the total DNA: they have decreased density heterogeneity (smaller band widths), neutral CsCl buoyant densities that differ from the average, and more homogeneous melting profiles with melting temperatures that differ from the average.
