Lengths of traced molecules. Expected contour lengths were calculated by multiplying the DNA length in base pairs by 0.34 nm (the helical rise of one DNA base-pair). Errors quoted are standard deviation.
| DNA length (bp) | Expected contour length (nm) | Peak measured contour length (nm) | Number of identified molecules |
|---|---|---|---|
| 116 | 39.4 | 39 ± 10 | 48 |
| 194 | 66.0 | 60 ± 6 | 51 |
| 251 | 85.3 | 80 ± 7 | 111 |
| 339 | 115.3 | 116 ± 15 | 415 |
| 357 | 121.4 | 118 ± 14 | 166 |
