Synthesis of DNA conjugate by mechanochemical solid-state polymerization and its affinity separation of oligonucleotides having single-base difference by capillary electrophoresis.
In this communication, we discuss the characterization of DNA conjugate synthesized by mechanochemical polymerization, Con-M, on the separation of model oligo-DNA and its single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) by affinity capillary electrophoresis, compared with that prepared by radical-initiated solution polymerization, Con-RL. The average molecular weight of Con-M was similar to that of Con-RL, although the molecular weight distribution of Con-M was narrower than that of Con-RL. Capillary electrophoresis of oligo-DNA was performed using the capillary filled with DNA conjugate. The resolution of the capillary filled with Con-M was apparently higher than with Con-RL. It is considered that higher resolution using the capillary filled with Con-M could be ascribed not only to the narrow molecular weight distribution but also to the difference of copolymer structure.
