Abstract
A reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed to determine the sites of reaction and the product distribution of modified salmon sperm DNA. The DNA was reacted with methyl methanesulfonate in neutral solution, and then degraded into deoxyribonucleosides by snake venom phosphodiesterase and alkaline phosphatase. Four products were identified and quantitated: 7-methyldeoxyguanosine (37.1%), 7-methylguanine (7.3%), 3-methyldeoxycytidine (28.8%), and 1-methyldeoxyadenosine (26.8%). This method provides a rapid procedure for analysis of chemically or biochemically modified nucleic acids.Entities:
