We investigated the relationship between electrophoretic behaviors and higher order structures of triplet repeat DNA fragments by means of capillary electrophoresis and atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was suggested that the mobility difference between triplet repeat DNA and random sequence DNA should be correlated to differences in their dynamic conformation.
