Single-based resolution for oligodeoxynucleotides and their phosphorothioate modifications by replaceable capillary gel electrophoresis.
A replaceable capillary gel electrophoretic (replaceable CGE) method was developed for the separation of two sets of model compounds of single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotide mixtures (18-20 mers), phosphodiester oligodeoxynucleotides (PO-ODNs) and their phosphorothioate modifications (PS-ODNs), with equal sequences differing in a single base. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) 35000 was chosen as the sieving matrix. It was confirmed that PEG polymer solution less influenced resolutions of the PS-ODNs compared with those of the PO-ODNs, while acetonitrile used as an additive in the system improved the separation significantly. It was also noticed that the effect of temperature on separation was much larger than that of denaturant urea.
