Figure 2. Measured electrophoretic mobilities and predicted trajectories of seven seed MTs.

(a) Electrophoretic mobilities of each seed MT measured with the laser Doppler method. Bars represent mean ± SD (n = 34 measurements for R-seed, n = 36 for G-seed and 50-bp DNA(R)-G-seed, n = 32 for B-R-seed, n = 33 for FSA-R-seed and 20-bp DNA(G)-R-seed, and n = 40 for 50-bp DNA(G)-R-seed). There were no significant differences between identical lowercase letters by the Tukey-Kramer test at a critical value of p < 0.01. (b) A values calculated from measured MT electrophoretic mobilities. (c) MT trajectories in an electric field predicted by the cantilever model.
