In order to develop a new method for determination of the G+C content of a DNA, preparations from 26 bacterial strains and salmon sperm were digested to form 5'-deoxyribonucleotide-monophosphates (dNMP) with nuclease PI and subjected to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Chromatograms indicated excellent separation of the components, and the data analysis suggested sufficient reproducibility and reasonable A/T and G/C ratios over a wide range (39 to 72mol%) of G+C values.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
