ESTIMATION OF NUCLEIC ACID

摘要

A method for the estimation of a property or parameter of a nucleic acid material, or of a process in which a nucleic acid is modified by a chemical or biochemical reaction, the property or parameter being one to which the electrical conductivity of the nucleic acid material is related, comprises measuring the electrical conductivity of the nucleic acid material, or of a reaction mixturecontaining the material, and estimating from the measurement the property or parameter of the material or process by reference to a predetermined relationship between electrical conductivity and the property or parameter.
