Source sentences:
text: Nucleic acids and silica membrane are both negatively charged and the electrical repulsion interferes with their interaction in the steady state33,34.
text: Gel Electrophoresis Because nucleic acids are negatively-charged ions at neutral or basic pH in an aqueous environment, they can be mobilized by an electric field.
text: Nucleic acid molecules which are to be analyzed are set upon a viscous medium, the gel, where an electric field induces the nucleic acids (which are negatively charged due to their sugar-phosphate backbone) to migrate toward the anode (which is positively charged because this is an electrolytic rather than galvanic cell).
