Osmium tetroxide in the presence of pyridine or 2,2'-bipyridine has been found to react completely with the pyrimidine moieties (thymine, uracil, and cytosine) in polynucleotides. Pyrimidine osmate ester moieties, L2OSO4-pyrimidine, were formed. The OSO4 has added across the 5,6 double bond and L=pyridine or 1/2-bipyridine. The pyridine derivatives were not stable and decomposed slowly after the OSO4-pyridine reagent was removed by gel chromatography. Labeled poly(uridylic acid) lost osmium completely during gel chromatography unless the eluent contained a high concentration of pyridine. The products formed between OSO4-bipyridine and polynucleotides were much more stable and the OS label was retained during and after gel chromatography. Both the OSO4-pyridine and OSO4-bipyridine reagents reacted more rapidly than the OSO4-CN-reagent.
已发现四氧化锇在吡啶或 2,2'-联吡啶存在下能与多核苷酸中的嘧啶部分(胸腺嘧啶、尿嘧啶和胞嘧啶)完全反应。形成了嘧啶锇酸酯部分,即 L₂OSO₄ - 嘧啶。OSO₄ 加成到 5,6 双键上,且 L = 吡啶或 1/2 - 联吡啶。吡啶衍生物不稳定,在用凝胶色谱法除去 OSO₄ - 吡啶试剂后会缓慢分解。标记的聚尿苷酸在凝胶色谱过程中会完全失去锇,除非洗脱液中含有高浓度的吡啶。OSO₄ - 联吡啶与多核苷酸形成的产物更稳定,并且在凝胶色谱过程中及之后 OS 标记都能保留。OSO₄ - 吡啶和 OSO₄ - 联吡啶试剂比 OSO₄ - CN - 试剂反应更快。
