The electrophoresis of a toroid (doughnut-shaped entity) along the axis of a long cylindrical pore is analyzed under the conditions of low surface potential and weak applied electric field. The system under consideration is capable of modeling the electrophoretic behavior of various types of biocolloid such as bacterial DNA, plasmid DNA, and anabaenopsis, in a confined space. The influences of the key parameters of the problem, including the sizes of a toroid, the radius of a pore, and the thickness of the double layer, on the electrophoretic mobility of a toroid are discussed. We show that the electrophoretic behavior of a toroid under typical conditions can be different from that of an integrated entity. For instance, although the presence of the pore wall has the effect of retarding the movement of a particle, it becomes advantageous if a toroid is sufficiently close to the boundary. Several interesting behaviors are also observed, for example, the mobility of a toroid when the boundary effect is significant can be larger than that when it is insignificant.
