Reversibility gluing

Amino acids labeled with DNS-C1 were determined using the Ru(bpy)32+ CL reaction after HPLC separation with a reversed-phase column [104, 105], DNS derivatives are expected to produce intense CL owing to their secondary and tertiary amino groups. The detection limit for DNS-Glu was 0.1 pM (2 pmol/ injection). Although underivatized amino acids could be detected by Ru(bpy)32+ CL, the DNS derivatives showed improved detection limits by three orders of magnitude [105], An approach to convert primary amines to tertiary amines was also reported [106], In this method, divinyl sulfone (DVS) was used for a cycloaddition reaction of primary amines (Fig. 19). The DVS derivatives after HPLC separation were sensitively detected (e.g., detection limits for propylamine and 3-aminopentane were 30 and 1 pmol, respectively). 

An example of a separation carried out in reversed-phase and in HILIC is shown in Figure 16. The analytes are rather polar, morphine and morphine 3- -glucuronide. On the reversed-phase column, the glu-curonide elutes first, since it is more polar than the parent compound. On the HILIC column, it elutes last. In addition, a gradient is used in the HILIC separation to elute both compounds in the same time frame. This demonstrates clearly the difference in retention between HILIC and reversed-phase chromatography. 

The saccharinic acids formed from hexoses have been especially examined because of the relationships of the a and /8 isomers (C-2 epi-mers). Structures of saccharinic acids derived from D-glucose are glu-cometasaccharinic acid (51), glucoisosaccharinic acid (52), and glucosaccharinic acid (53). The a- and /3- isomers of metasaccharinic acid can reversibly isomerize when exposed to base because of the labile proton at C-2. 

This enzyme [EC 5.1.3.3], also known as mutarotase, catalyzes the epimerization of the hemiacetal carbon atom of aldoses (thus, anomerization). Hence, a-D-glu-cose is reversibly converted to /3-D-glucose. Other sugars can act as substrates (e.g., L-arabinose, D-xylose, D-galac-tose, maltose, and lactose).
