Use of snake venom immobilized phosphodiesterase for analysis of the nucleotide composition of oligodesoxyribonucleotides]

A simple one-step technique for the analysis of nucleotide composition of oligodeoxyribonucleotides is described. The method is based on enzymatic hydrolysis and subsequent separation of hydrolysate on a "combined" column with Aminex A 28 anionite, on which top immobilyzed on DEAE cellulose snake venom phosphodiesterase is layed. The method is tested using a number of synthetic di- and tri-deoxyribonucleotides.
