abstract = {Bacteriophages with long DNA genomes are of interest due to
their diverse mutations dependent on environmental factors.
By lowering the ionic strength of a hydrophobic (PPh4Cl)
antagonistic salt (at 1 mM), single long T4 DNA strand
fluctuations were clearly observed, while condensed states
of T4 DNA globules were formed above 5–10 mM salt. These
long DNA strands were treated with fluorescently labeled
probes, for which photo bleaching is often unavoidable over
a short time of measurement. In addition, long (few tens of
μm) length scales are required to have larger fields of
view for better sampling, with shorter temporal resolutions.
Thus, an optimization between length and time is crucial to
obtain useful information. To facilitate the challenge of
detecting large biomacromolecules, we here introduce an
effective method of live image data analysis for direct
visualization and quantification of local thermal
fluctuations. The motions of various conformations for the
motile long DNA strands were examined for the single- and
multi-T4 DNA strands. We find that the unique correlation
functions exhibit a relatively high-frequency oscillatory
behavior superimposed on the overall slower decay of the
correlation function with a splitting of amplitudes deriving
from local activities of the long DNA strands. This work
shows not only the usefulness of an image–time correlation
for analyzing large biomacromolecules, but also provides
insight into the effects of a hydrophobic antagonistic salt
on active T4 bacteriophage long DNA strands, including
thermal translocations in their electrostatic interactions.},
