Coil−Stretch Transition of DNA Molecules in Slitlike Confinement

We experimentally investigate the influence of slitlike confinement on the coil−stretch transition of single DNA molecules in a homogeneous planar elongational electric field. We observe a more gradual coil−stretch transition characterized by two distinct critical strain rates for DNA in confinement...
