“…Using a specific solvent system (5 ACN:2 H 2 O:1 KNO 3 ) in a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system, we are able to separate these compounds based on charge in a reverse-phase silica column. Figure 6: Formation of several isomers from basic iDNA building blocks [3] This process is able to separate most of the isomers that are created, since they will have varying amounts of charged metal atoms in them. Analysis of the separation of the products of a synthesis can possibly assist in the creation of a more controlled synthesis of the desired isomer (in most cases, the antiparallel, controlled length chain).…”
