Procedures for the analysis of cellular purine and pyrimidine nucleotides are described. The commonly used perchloric acid and especially the trichloroacetic acid methods for nucleotide extraction interfere with ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography, but we have developed such a system for the separation and determination of major cellular nucleotides in biological matrices, including tri-, di-, monophosphates, cAMP, cGMP, NAD, NADP, UDP-glucose and UDP-galactose. Compared with perchloric acid extraction, no degradation of the nucleotide standards used was observed with respect to triphosphates and other relatively unstable nucleotides. Cellular nucleotides were extracted by lysing cells in a hypotonic buffer containing an ion-pair reagent (tetrabutylammonium hydrogen-sulphate) to decrease enzymic degradation of nucleotides in combination with ultrafiltration of the cell lysate to remove compounds of higher molecular mass, for example enzymes. This method is a simple and reproducible procedure for investigating nucleotide pools in cells.

All-solid-state lithium metal batteries are regarded as next-generation devices for energy storage due to their safety and high energy density. The issues of lithium dendrites and poor mechanical compatibility with electrodes present the need for developing solid-state electrolytes with high stiffness and damping, but it is a contradictory relationship. Here, inspired by the superstructure of tooth enamel, we develop a composite solid-state electrolyte composed of amorphous ceramic nanotube arrays intertwined with solid polymer electrolytes.

Phytate in plants (inositol phosphates, InsPs) affects mineral bioavailability. However, methods for their quantification may lead to variable results, and some are nonspecific (spectrophotometric techniques). In this study, ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was coupled with post-column derivatization to allow fluorescence detection (FLD, λ324/λ364 nm) of InsPs.

Recently, malonylated glycosides have received increasing attention in the study of medicinal plants due to their significant physiological functions. A few malonyl-substituted flavonoid glycosides (MFGs) have been reported in Astragalus, however, the number of MFGs was limited. This study established screening strategies based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography - high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS) and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography - multiple reaction monitoring (UPLC-MRM) to screen and quantify MFGs in Astragalus.

The coordination sphere and steric variations in iron catalysts present a fascinating strategy for adjusting monomer regio- and stereoselective enchainment, leading to the development of novel polymer structures in isoprene polymerization. This study investigates a range of iron complexes with variations in the coordination spheres (bidentate and tridentate) and steric/electronic properties of side arms to evaluate their impact on isoprene polymerization. X-ray analysis revealed that the tridentate Fe-NMe2 complex has a dinuclear structure with a -O bridge, where each iron center is monoligated in an octahedral geometry.

This manuscript discusses the development of a reversed-phase ultra high-performance liquid chromatography (RP UHPLC) method based on phenyl-bonded stationary phases without ion-pairs for the separation and identification of oligonucleotides. The elimination of ion-pair reagents makes the proposed protocol as more compliant to the principles of green chemistry, compared to the traditional ion-pair reversed-phase liquid chromatography methods (IP RP LC). In detail, three phenyl-based stationary phases were tested, namely a C18/AR (a C18 stationary phase with the addition of aromatic groups), a Phenyl-hexyl, and a Diphenyl.
