Abstract
The ratio of deoxyguanosine and thymidine can be determined in a complex mixture containing the major ribonucleosides and deoxynucleosides, the minor deoxynucleosides, and the nucleotide monophosphates by high-performance liquid chromatography. The isocratic procedure utilizes a C 18 column and a solvent of methanol—triethylamine phosphate (pH 5.1). A single analysis requires 15 min. Within the range of 0.5–1.5 μg of total deoxynucleosides per sample, the determination is very precise and the relative standard deviation is about 0.1%. From the deoxyguanosine/thymidine ratio, a precise determination of the mole percentage guanine + cytosine of double-stranded DNA is calculated.
