A Preliminary Study of Modification of 7-Deazaadenine with a Complex of Osmium Tetroxide with 2,2 '-Bipyridine
Vítová, Lada ; Havran, Luděk ; Fojta, Miroslav ; Šedo, O. ; Zdráhal, Z. ; Vespalec, Radim
Reactivity of a purine nucleic base analogue 7-deazaadenine (A*) in short oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) towards an osmium tetroxide complex with 2,2'-bipyridine (Os, bipy) was investigated by means of electrochemistry, capillary electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Electrochemical measurement, electrophoretic analyses and mass spectrometric analyses of reaction mixture proved that ODN with an A* residue yields an osmium adduct with properties similar to those exhibited by the well-known adduct of thymine.

Study on the Electrophoretic Behaviour of Short Oligodeoxyribonucleotides in Fused Silica Capillaries. A Preliminary Communication
Vítová, Lada ; Fojta, Miroslav ; Vespalec, Radim
Effects of background electrolyte pH, composition and concentration on the electrophoretic transport of short oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) in fused silica capillaries have been investigated in the presented study. Mobilities and separation efficiencies of ODNs peaks varied with all three background electrolyte characteristics. Just changes in the background electrolyte characteristics and acid-base properties of ODNs are not sufficient for a systematic explanation of the observed variations. Despite the indicated complexity of ODNs electrophoretic behaviour, we show that very high separation efficiencies of ODNs peaks can be achieved in background electrolytes of physiological pH.

Electrochemical Investigation of Different Boron Cluster Compounds in Water-based Electrolytes
Fojt, Lukáš ; Vespalec, Radim ; Fojta, Miroslav ; Grüner, Bohumír
Boron cluster compounds (BCC) belongs to one or the proud sing compounds which ace used for medical treatment Their use for biochemical purposes is connected with use of water-based environments. Up to now, the BCC were predominantly characterized in non-aqueous milieus Therefore, we decided to undertake electrochemical research of BCC in water-based electrolytes. We have investigated several boron clusters with structures containing different number of vertexes (from 3 to 18), The structures were modified by endo- and exo- skeletal substituents. All used BCC were electrochemically active in broad potential region. which implies their possible use as biomarkers with tunable electrochemical response.
