Maxam and Gilbert's Chemical Degradation Method
In this method, which is illustrated in Figure 8.11, following steps are involved:
(i) Label the 3' end of DNA with 32p.
(ii) Separate two strands, both labelled at 3' ends.
(iii) Divide the mixture in four samples, each treated with a different reagent having the property of destroying either only G, or only C, or G and A or C and T. The concentration of reagent is so adjusted that 50% of target base is destroyed, so that fragments of different sizes   having 32p are produced.
(iv) Electrophorese each of the four samples in four different lanes of the gel.
