Abstract

The Duke–Rubinstein model of gel electrophoresis is applied to calculate the velocity of DNA molecules. We have found that the velocity distribution becomes flat at high electric fields. Simultaneously, the percentage of immobile molecules increases. Effectively, the mean velocity starts to decrease at high fields. The field value, where the mean velocity is maximal, decreases with the molecule length. The results are compared with those from similar calculations obtained by Heukelum and Beljaars within the cage model.
