title: Simultaneous quantification of energetically important metabolites in various cell types by CZE.
abstract: A new CZE method was developed for the determination of 12 purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, two adenine coenzymes and their reduced forms, and acetyl coenzyme A in various cell extracts. As the concentration levels of these metabolites in living cells are low; CZE was combined with field-enhanced sample stacking. As a result, the separation conditions were optimised to achieve a suitable resolution at the relatively high sample volume provided by this on-line pre-concentration technique. The optimum BGE was 150 mM glycine buffer (pH 9.5). Samples were introduced hydrodynamically using a pressure of 35 mbar (3.5 kPa) for 25 s, and data were collected at a detection wavelength of 260 nm. An applied voltage of 30 kV (positive polarity) and capillary temperature of 25°C gave the best separation of these compounds. The optimised method was validated by determining the linearity, sensitivity and repeatability and it was successfully applied for the analysis of extracts from Paracoccus denitrificans bacteria and from stem cells.
