DNA Electrophoresis: a) The DNA reaches terminal velocity quickly during electrophoresis and stays in that state. Solve for the terminal velocity for the viscous and drag force case. b) Which of these terminal velocities depend on the size of the DNA molecule? How does the terminal velocity change with molecule size? ( does terminal velocity go up or down as the size gets bigger?) c) Based on your calculations is the resistive force on a DNA molecule during electrophoresis best...
