title: Migration mechanism of bases and nucleosides in oil-in-water microemulsion capillary electrophoresis.
abstract: The electrophoretic behaviors of five bases and corresponding nucleosides in the oil in water (o/w) microemulsion capillary electrophoresis, microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography (MEEKC), were examined in comparison with those in normal capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). The microemulsion systems were composed of heptane, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 1-butanol and 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) or toluene, SDS, 1-butanol and 5 mM carbonate buffer (pH 10.0). CZE was carried out in the range of pH 9.7-10.9, and the dissociation constants, pKa, of the bases and nucleosides and the electrophoretic mobilities of the anionic forms were determined. The electrophoretic behaviors of the solutes in the microemulsion systems were analyzed from their pKa, the electrophoretic mobilities of the anions determined by CZE, and the distribution constants, K(D), of the neutral forms between the microemulsion droplets and the outer aqueous phase. The importance of adsorption mechanism in MEEKC system was suggested from the correlation between log K(D) and log P.
