a: The [12C6]aniline and [13C6]aniline derivatives of LNnT behave identically on normal phase HPLC analysis. An equimolar mixture of LNnT-[12C6]aniline and LNnT-[13C6]aniline co-chromatographed during normal phase separation by HPLC. The aniline derivatives were detected using UV absorption at 260 nm. A profile showing the chromatographic behavior of purified LNnT-[12C6]aniline is inserted below as a reference. b: The 6 Da difference in [12C6]aniline and [13C6]aniline derivatives of LNnT are easily measured by ESI-MS analysis. The equimolar mixture of LNnT-[12C6]aniline and LNnT-[13C6]aniline was subjected to analysis by LC-MS. The structures are shown as symbols (Fig. 1) with the corresponding molecular masses.
