18. 18). After incubation at 25 °C for the times noted, the cleavage products of each reaction were separated by gel electrophoresis (1% agarose, 0.5 mg/mL ethidium bromide) in 0.5× TBE buffer at 90 V for 90 min, visualized by UV light, and captured on a digital image. To calculate the percentage of supercoiled (SC) DNA remaining after a reaction, the intensity of each visible band was measured using ImageAide Band Matching software (Spectronics Corporation) and incorporated into the equation: SC/(SC + NC + L) × 100. A correction factor of 1.1 was applied to compensate for the low affinity of supercoiled (SC) DNA in comparison to the nicked circular (NC) and linear (L) forms of DNA.

31. High resolution denaturing electrophoresis was performed on a 10% acrylamide:bis acrylamide (19:1) gel containing 8 M urea. After incubation, DNA cleavage assays were precipitated with ethanol/acetate, re-suspended in urea loading dye, and incubated at 55 °C before loading onto the gel. Samples were run at 1700 V for 2 h in 1× TBE buffer before exposure to a storage phosphor screen (Amersham Biosciences) and subsequent scanning laser densitometry (Storm 860 Molecular Imager).
