Popis: A micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) method for rapid and accurate determination of 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-monophosphates (dNMPs), four structural elements of DNA, is described. MEKC separation at an optimized pH enabled complete separation of four dNMPs. The use of a cationic surfactant additive for MEKC led to the reversal of EOF, which enhanced the migration velocities of the negatively charged dNMPs. Under the optimized condition, full-baseline separation of the four dNMPs assuring accurate peak integration was obtained within 5 min. For the given separation condition, pH-mediated on-column sample stacking was optimized and applied to enhance sensitivity up to 6-fold. Analytical precision was improved by spiking iothalamate as an internal standard. The accuracy of dNMP quantitation was ensured with dNMP standard solutions determined by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy that measured phosphorous quantity. Performance of the proposed method was ultimately proven by accurate quantitation of a DNA oligonucleotide that was enzymatically hydrolyzed prior to dNMP analysis. The proposed MEKC method turned out to be a reliable analytical method for dNMPs that features high speed, high sensitivity, and high precision, and could be utilized for high-accuracy determination of the amount of DNA as well as the base composition of DNA.
