title: Preparative fractionation of DNA restriction fragments by high pressure column chromatography on RPC-5.
abstract: High pressure liquid chromatography on the RPC-5 reversed-phase ion exchange system has been shown to have several potential applications as an initial high capacity step in the isolation of specific DNA restriction fragments. The fractionation of the Hinc II digest of lambda DNA, which contains 35 fragments with "flush ends" ranging in size from 3 x 10(6) to 7 x 10(4) daltons, has been used as a model system. Under certain conditions there are some restriction fragments whose elution relative to other fragments is different on RPC-5 chromatography than it is on gel electrophoresis. In some special circumstances it is possible to obtain satisfactory yields (60-70%) of a pure restriction fragment after a single passage through an RPC-5 column.
