What is the size of circular plasmid? In other words, what is the diameter of a plasmid with a length of 11 kb (nanometer-size)?
Thanks
Assuming B-form and no supercoiling, it would be aprox. 3.4 nm per 10 bp, so the plasmid would have a contour length of 3740 nm and a diameter of 2382 nm.
Hi Alejandro Martin, how did you calculate the diameter of the plasmid?
