Star-shaped polymers for DNA sequencing by capillary electrophoresis

The separation and sequencing of DNA are the main objectives of the Human Genome Project, and this project has also been very useful for gene analysis and disease diagnosis. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is one of the most common techniques for the separation and analysis of DNA. DNA separations are usually achieved using capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) mode, in which polymer gel is packed into the capillary. Compared with a traditional CGE matrix, a hydrophilic polymer matrix, which can be adsorb by the capillary wall has numerous advantages, including stability, reproducibility and ease of automation. Various water-soluble additives, such as linear poly(acrylamide) (PAA) and poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA), have been employed as media. In this study, different star-shaped PDMA polymers were designed and synthesized to achieve lower polymer solution viscosity. DNA separations with these polymers avoid the disadvantages of high viscosity and long separation time while maintaining high resolution (10 bp between 271 bp and 281 bp). The influences of the polymer concentration and structure on DNA separation were also determined in this study; higher polymer concentration yielded better separation performance, and star-like polymers were superior to linear polymers. This work indicates that modification of the polymer structure is a potential strategy for optimizing DNA separation.     

Low viscosity DNA sieving matrices for capillary electrophoresis

The rapid development of DNA capillary electrophoresis (CE) technology has increased the demand of new low viscosity sieving matrices with high separation capacity. The high throughput, resolution and automatic operation of CE systems have stimulated the application of the technique to different kinds of DNA analysis, including DNA sequencing, separation of restriction fragments, PCR products and synthetic oligonucleotides. In addition specific methods for PCR-based mutation assays for the study of known and unknown point mutations have been developed for use in CE. The key component for a large scale application of CE to DNA analysis is the availability of appropriate sieving matrices. This article gives an overview of the linear polymers used as DNA separation matrices with particular emphasis on the polymers that combine high sieving capacity, low viscosity and chemical resistance.     

Sieving polymer synthesis by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization

Replaceable sieving polymers are the fundamental component for high‐resolution nucleic acids separation in CE. The choice of polymer and its physical properties play significant roles in influencing separation performance. Recently, reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization has been shown to be a versatile polymerization technique capable of yielding well‐defined polymers previously unattainable by conventional free‐radical polymerization. In this study, a high molecular weight poly‐(N,N‐dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) at 765 000 gmol^?1 with a polydispersity index of 1.55 was successfully synthesized with the use of chain transfer agent—2‐propionic acidyl butyl trithiocarbonate in a multistep sequential RAFT polymerization approach. This study represents the first demonstration of RAFT polymerization for synthesizing polymers with the molecular weight range suitable for high‐resolution DNA separation in sieving electrophoresis. Adjustment of pH in the reaction was found to be crucial for the successful RAFT polymerization of high molecular weight polymer as the buffered condition minimizes the effect of hydrolysis and aminolysis commonly associated with trithiocarbonate chain transfer agents. The separation efficiency of 2‐propionic acidyl butyl trithiocarbonate PDMA was found to have marginally superior separation performance compared to a commercial PDMA formulation, POP?‐CAP, of similar molecular weight range.     

Nonconventional synthesis and characterization of ultrahigh-molar-mass polyacrylamides

In spite of the significant progresses in the field of replaceable sieving matrices for separating DNA in capillary electrophoresis (CE), an intense research activity is still going on to improve the separation of large size DNA sequencing fragments. There are evidences, both from experimental and theoretical sides that the resolution of these fragments, at the single base, requires the use of sieving matrices comprised of long chain linear polymers. In the separation of DNA fragments by CE are of upmost importance: (i) the complete solubility of the polymer, (ii) the linearity of the chain, (iii) the achievement of ultrahigh viscosity in dilute solutions. The aim of this work is the synthesis of ultrahigh-molecular-weight polymers which possess the three requirements mentioned above by employing a nonconventional method. We demonstrate that the sieving performance of polyacrylamide is directly correlated to its intrinsic viscosity.

Dynamic light‐scattering measurement of sieving polymer solutions for protein separation on SDS CE

We evaluated the mesh size and homogeneity of polymer network by dynamic light scattering and discussed the relationship between the physical properties of polymer network and the protein separation behavior by capillary polymer electrophoresis. We compared three kinds of sieving polymers in solutions with a wide range of molecular weights and concentrations: polyacrylamide and polyethylene oxide as flexible polymers, and hydroxyethyl cellulose as a semiflexible polymer. We found that the mobility of protein was dominated primarily by the mesh size ξ, irrespective of the type of sieving polymers, and the peak spacing between protein peaks increased drastically in the range of ξ<10 nm, where the mobility also decreased. And the peak widths were dependent on the molecular species of sieving polymers and their homogeneity of polymer network. We proposed that a polymer network with a homogenous mesh size of less than 10 nm is the best sieving medium for separation of the proteins in the molecular weight range 14 300–97 200 Da from the view point of the resolution in protein separation.     

Effect of the matrix on DNA electrophoretic mobility

DNA electrophoretic mobilities are highly dependent on the nature of the matrix in which the separation takes place. This review describes the effect of the matrix on DNA separations in agarose gels, polyacrylamide gels and solutions containing entangled linear polymers, correlating the electrophoretic mobilities with information obtained from other types of studies. DNA mobilities in various sieving media are determined by the interplay of three factors: the relative size of the DNA molecule with respect to the effective pore size of the matrix, the effect of the electric field on the matrix, and specific interactions of DNA with the matrix during electrophoresis.     

Separation of transfer RNA and 5S ribosomal RNA using capillary electrophoresis

Capillary gel electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis using entangled polymer solutions was investigated for their applicability for the separation of low-molecular-mass RNAs (transfer RNA and 5S ribosomal RNA), with a size range of 70–135 nucleotides, from bacteria. Cross-linked polyacrylamide gel-filled capillaries (3 and 5%) were used for capillary gel electrophoresis. Good resolution was obtained suing gel-filled capillaries only for small tRNAs with lengths to 79 nucleotides, larger tRNAs and 5S rRNA could not be resolved using this method. Buffers containing sieving additives were employed to improve separations of RNA by capillary electrophoresis using entangled polymer solutions. The use of linear sieving polymers in buffers resolved 5S rRNA and tRNAs, even when they possessed only different secondary structure or small differences in length (1–5 nucleotides).     

Capillary gel electrophoresis of oligonucleotides using polymer solutions

Summary Capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) has been recognized as an effective method for the analysis of oligonucleotides. CGE using polymer solutions is especially useful and effective compared with that using crosslinked gels, because of easy change of media. Replacement of media leads to the reproducible separation of analytes. We have investigated CGE analysis of oligonucleotides of less than 20 bases employing various kinds of polymers. Polyacrylamide, dextrin, dextran, pullakin, and poly(ethylene glycol) were used as sieving matrixes at concentrations of 0–30 %. Polydeoxythymidylic acids [p(dT)_11–20] were used as a test sample. These small oligonucleotides were successfully resolved on the basis of their base number by CGE using some of these polymer solutions. In particular, dextran was found to be effective and baseline separation was observed when a 30 % dextran solution was employed. Some validations such as linearity and reproducibility were also established and this method was found to be an adequate quality control method for small oligonucleotides. Finally, CGE using a 30 % dextran solution was successfully applied to impurity profiling of some synthetic oligonucleotides.
