Diastereomers of nonionic oligonucleotide analogs. VI. Isolation of diastereomers of ethyl phosphotriesters of the octanucleotide d(GCCAAACA) by high performance affinity chromatography

: Diastereomers of oligonucleotide ethyl phosphotriesters were separated by high-performance complementary (affinity) chromatography on a column with the immobilized complementary oligonucleotide. The elution buffer contained 0.18 M K2HPO4, pH 7.5, and 30% acetonitrile. The temperature of the separation was a few degrees lower than Tm of corresponding oligonucleotide complexes. The diastereomers separated completely or partially were: d[GCC(Et)AAACA], d[GCCA(Et)AACA], d[GCAA(Et)ACA], d[GCC(Et)A(Et)AACA], d[GCC(Et)AA(Et)ACA], d[GCCA(Et)A(Et)ACA], d[GCC(Et)A(Et)A(Et)ACA].
