Ethanol induces condensation of single DNA molecules

As a widely used precipitation agent for DNA extraction, ethanol is used to induce single molecule DNA condensation. This process is studied with force-measuring magnetic tweezers and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Our experiments provide direct evidence of the metastable intermediate racquet states...
