Determination of S-adenosylmethionine, S-adenosylhomocysteine, and methylthioadenosine in urine using solvent-modified micellar electrokinetic chromatography.

A new approach for direct determination of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), and methylthioadenosine (MTA) in urine was developed based on MEKC by using SDS modified with isobutanol in the presence of PEG-300. Analytes were first extracted with grafted phenylborononic acid. Using a 50 µm internal diameter silica capillary of 32 cm total length filled with 0.
