Separation of Nucleotides
In this application, we present an easy-to-use protocol for sensitive detection and quantification of nucleotides in red blood cell extracts. Retention times were very reproducible with %RSD around 0.4. The desired separation between UDP-Glu and UDP-Gal was achieved, all other nucleotides eluted later and did not interfere with the analysis. ATP represents the most abundant nucleotide in the red blood cell extracts and in this example it eluted after both analytes.Figure A: Sample (spiked with UDP-Galactose) of a red blood cell extract from a patient for monitoring, Figure B: Standards using the same method.
Peaks:
1. UDP GLU: UDP-Glucose: Uridine 5’-Diphosphateglucose, 1 mg/mL
2. UDP-GAL: UDP-Galactose: Uridine 5’-Diphosphategalactose, 1 mg/mL
3. ATP: Adenosine 5’-Triphosphate, 1 mM
Column: Cogent Diamond Hydride™, 4 μm, 100 Å
Catalog No.: 70000-15P-2
Dimensions: 2.1 mm x 150 mm
Mobile Phase:
-- A: DI Water / 13 mM Ammonium Acetate
-- B: 90% Acetonitrile / 10% DI Water / 13 mM Ammonium Acetate
| Time ( m inutes ) | %B |
| 0 | 100 |
| 1 | 95 |
| 8 | 95 |
| 9 | 80 |
| 10.5 | 80 |
| 14 | 50 |
| 15 | 100 |
Injection vol.: 1 μL
Flow rate: 0.4 mL / minute
Detection: UV @ 254nm
Notes: Even with UV detection it is possible to detect individual nucleotides in the presence of a biological matrix. The retention time can be compared to the standard (Figure B) showing that the values of the real sample and the standard are very close. UDP-glucose, UDP-galactose and galactose 1-phosphate determination can be used for diagnosis of galactosemia in newborn babies [1-2].
