Abstract: | A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed to quantify the major and modified nucleoside composition of total, unfractionated transfer RNA. The method is rapid and sensitive and offers a high degree of chromatographic resolution suitable for quantifying both stable and unstable modified nucleosides. It is nondestructive and allows the recovery of nucleosides for further characterization. We apply the method in the analysis of the 29 modified nucleosides in tRNA from Salmonella typhimurium (and Escherichia coli) and show it to be useful in examining changes in the modified nucleoside content of tRNA. Such changes may be important in regulation. |
