Comparison of theories for the translational and rotational diffusion coefficients of rod-like macromolecules. Application to short DNA fragments
Abstract
Two theories relating the translational and rotational diffusion coefficients Dt and Dr of a rod-like macromolecule to its length and diameter, proposed by Broersma [J. Chem. Phys. 74, 6989 (1981)], and Tirado and García de la Torre [J. Chem. Phys. 71, 2581 (1979); 73, 1986 (1980)] are shown to predict different values of the coefficients for a particle of given dimensions. Next, we use the two theories to analyze existing experimental data of sedimentation coefficients s and translational and rotational diffusion coefficients of short DNA fragments, and obtain values of the hydrated diameter of DNA d which is treated as an adjustable parameter. The results are compared with the expected value, d≂26Å. This comparison favors clearly the Tirado–Garcia de la Torre theory in the case of Dt and s. For Dr, and using a rise per base pair r=3.4 Å, this theory gives best agreement for all the data examined, while when r=3.3 Å, the agreement depends on the source of data.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
