It is not known whether the diffusion of DNA fragments is hindered by important determinant of the efficacy of gene delivery and antisense therapy. We have measured the transla- binding and steric interactions or how the size and physical tional diffusion of fluorescein-labeled double-stranded structure of DNA affect its diffusional properties.
