342 SEPARATION OF NUCLEOTIDES IN AQUEOUS SYSTEMS<br />

The separation of the mono-, di- and triphosphates of every nucleotide is, however,<br />

possible in each operational system,<br />

Fig.14.3 shows the isotachopherograms for the separations of (A) adenosine phosphates<br />

and (B) uridine phosphates at pH 6; in the former sample pyrophosphate was also present.<br />

The time of separation was about 20 min.<br />

At lower pH, the step heights diverge and larger differences are obtained, because many<br />

of them have pK values in this pH range. These systems are more suitable for the separa-<br />

tion of the nucleotides in complicated mixtures. As an example, the isotachopherogram<br />

of the separation of the nucleotides UTP, UDP, GDP, ADP, UMP, GMP, AMP and CMP is<br />

shown in Fig.14.4. A complete separation could be obtained in 30 min at pH 3.7. Lower<br />

pH values can rarely be used because the low effective mobilities at these pH values<br />

require a higher potential than can be attained and disturbances due to the presence of H’<br />

ions can be expected.<br />

14.3. SEPARATION USING A CONDUCTIVITY DETECTOR (a.c. METHOD) AND A<br />

W ABSORPTION DETECTOR (256 nm)<br />

While in the previous section various operational systems in which the separations of<br />

the nucleotides can be carried out were given, here only one isotachopherogram is given<br />

for comparison. These components are very easy to separate at both low and neutral pH<br />

and a separation according to pK values can easily be performed. Moreover, the nucleotides<br />
