Notes:
The addition of a lytic layer to a preformed linear sucrose gradient induces a temporary (up to half a day) initial gradient of considerable steepness which retards the sedimentation of large (〉T4) DNAs. Centrifugation at sufficiently slow angular velocities permits the temporary initial gradient to disappear and therefore the sedimentation distance increases, yielding a rotor speed dependent effect on sedimentation distance. Gradients which are free of this effect are described and shown to permit mouse leukemia cell DNA to sediment independently of rotor speed (5-30 krpm).
