    摘要: This invention relates to a method and device for separating charged particles according to their diffusivities in a separation medium by means of a spatially and temporally varying electric potential. The method is particularly suited to sizing and separating DNA fragments, to generating DNA fragment length polymorphism patterns, and to sequencing DNA through the separation of DNA sequencing reaction products. The method takes advantage of the transport of charged particles subject to an electric potential that is cycled between an off-state (in which the potential is flat) and one or more on-states, in which the potential is preferably spatially periodic with a plurality of eccentrically shaped stationary potential wells. The potential wells are at constant spatial positions in the on-state. Differences in liquid-phase diffusivities lead to charged particle separation. A preferred embodiment of the device is microfabricated. A separation medium fills physically defined separation lanes in the device. Electrodes deposited substantially transverse to the lanes create the required electric potentials. Advantageously, injection ports allow sample loading, and special gating electrodes focus the sample prior to separation. The effects of thermal gradients are minimized by placing the device in contact with a thermal control module, preferably a plurality of Peltier-effect heat transfer devices. The small size of a microfabricated device permits rapid separation in a plurality of separation lanes.

    摘要: This invention includes methods for analyzing data generated by various solid-state NMR experiments, including rotational echo double resonance (REDOR), transferred echo double resonance (TEDOR), dipolar recoupling at the magic angle (DRAMA), dipolar recoupling with a windowless sequence (DRAWS), and melding of spin-locking and DRAMA (MELODRAMA). The methods are based alternately on a new analytical transform or the maximum entropy method and their multi-dimensional extensions. They permit simultaneous, multiple distance measurements of high accuracy and precision, even from nuclei with identical chemical shifts. By providing high quality easily obtained distance measurement from disordered solid state materials, this invention also improves drug discovery and design through fast determination of structures of pharmaceutical lead compounds, drug molecules, or their targets.
