The reaction of Lupinus luteus tRNAPhe with 1 M chloroacetaldehyde in the pH range of 4 - 6 at 25 degrees C was studied. It was found that earlier difficulties lowering the utility of the reagent for structural studies of nucleic acids were caused by the formation of the stable reaction intermediates. In order to eliminate these difficulties the simple procedure of so-called maturation of the chloroacetaldehyde-modifies tRNA is proposed. It consists in further incubation of the short-term modified tRNA in water at 50 degrees C in the absence of the reagent. During the maturation step the stable intermediates are quantitatively converted into final ethenoderivatives. New HPLC conditions on Aminex A-6 were worked out which enable rapid separation of both ethenoadenosine and ethenocytidine from natural tRNA nucleosides.
研究了白羽扇豆苯丙氨酸转运核糖核酸(Lupinus luteus tRNAPhe)在25℃、pH值为4 - 6的条件下与1 M氯乙醛的反应。结果发现,早期在核酸结构研究中降低该试剂效用的困难是由稳定反应中间体的形成所致。为消除这些困难,提出了所谓氯乙醛修饰的转运核糖核酸“成熟”的简单程序。该程序包括在无试剂的情况下,将短期修饰的转运核糖核酸在50℃的水中进一步孵育。在成熟步骤中,稳定中间体被定量转化为最终的乙烯衍生物。制定了在Aminex A - 6上的新高效液相色谱(HPLC)条件,可实现乙烯腺苷和乙烯胞苷与天然转运核糖核酸核苷的快速分离。
