SCALING OF THE EQUILIBRIUM SEDIMENTATION DISTRIBUTION IN DENSE DNA SOLUTIONS S. TROHALAKI, A. A. BRIAN, H. L. FRISCH, AND L. S. LERMAN Centerfor Biological Macromolecules, State University ofNew York at Albany, Albany, New York 12222 ABSTRACT DNA molecules, several persistence lengths long in sedimentation equilibrium at speeds high enough to maintain fairly close packing, show a dense, sharply-bounded turbid phase and an isotropic phase (as with shorter fragments) a
