Mercurated Dextran Column Chromatography for Fractionating Mononucleotides

Mercurated dextran column chromatography for fractionating mononucleotides.

Mercurated dextran (polysaccharide) was found to fractionate mononucleotides according to their affinity for organomercurial Hg(+). The nucleotides are released from the chromatographic column in the sequence CMP, AMP, GMP, and TMP when borate buffer of increasing pH is used as an eluent.

RNA aggregation during sulfhydryl-agarose chromatography of mercurated RNA.

Isolation of newly synthesized mercurated RNA transcripts by chromatography on sulfhydryl-agarose has recently been used to reduce contamination by endogenous RNA derived from the chromatin template. We show that substantial RNA aggregation occurs during standard isolation procedures, causing significant retention of endogenous (unmercurated) RNA on sulfhydryl-agarose. We describe methods to re...

Column Chromatography for Terpenoids and Flavonoids

Natural products have coming from various source materials including terrestrial plants, terrestrial microorganisms, marine organisms, terrestrial vertebrates and invertebrates have importance as they provide an amazing source of new drugs as well as new drug leads and new chemical entities for further drug development (McCurdy & Scully, 2005; Chin et al., 2006). Morphine, vincristine, codeine,...

Phosphorus assay in column chromatography.

Malerials-30 per cent hydrogen peroxide (Baker and Adamson, phosphorus-free) and the ammonium molybdate, (NHJ6lMo7024.4Hz0, wereused. The Fiske and SubbaRow (I) reagent was prepared by adding 0.5 gm. of purified (1) 1-amino-2naphthol-4-sulfonic acid (Eastman Organic Chemicals) with mechanical stirring to 200 ml. of freshly prepared 15 per cent sodium bisulfite (anhydrous), followed by 1.0 gm. o...
