Mercurated Dextran Column Chromatography for Fractionating Mononucleotides

Dieter W Gruenwedel 1, Joseph C C Fu 1
PMCID: PMC389335  PMID: 5289358

Abstract

Mercurated dextran (polysaccharide) was found to fractionate mononucleotides according to their affinity for organomercurial Hg+. The nucleotides are released from the chromatographic column in the sequence CMP, AMP, GMP, and TMP when borate buffer of increasing pH is used as an eluent.

Keywords: borate, thin layer chromatography, pH gradients
