	abstract = {Inspired by recent interest in DNAzymes as transition metal ion sensors, a survey of the effects of various transition metals on the intramolecular cleavage rate of an imidazole modified, M2+-independent, self-cleaving "9(25)-11" DNA is reported. In particular, 9(25)-11 activity was strongly inhibited by Hg2+ (K-d(APP) = 110 +/- 9 nM). It is postulated that the affinity and selectivity of 9(25)-11 for Hg2+ stems from the fact that this synthetically modified DNAzyme contains imidazoles. This study demonstrates the utility of modified nucleotides in developing DNAzyme sensors for metals ions, especially those for which unmodified nucleic acids might not serve as inherently good ligands.},

	abstract = {Cell extraction and further sample preparation for nucleotide pool analysis using capillary electrophoresis was faster and simpler using volatile extraction solvents (e.g. organic solvents and de-ionized water) compared to the commonly applied acids dissolved in water (e.g. perchloric acid and trichloracetic acid). Temperature had to be controlled during the whole sample preparation process to prevent degradation, and extracts had to be cleaned from proteins and other large molecules prior to capillary electrophoretic analysis to improve reproducibility. Capillary electrophoresis using borate and cyclodextrins in the background electrolyte was used for determining 11 cellular nucleotides simultaneously. In order to optimize the assay, 0-100\% acetonitrile, 0-100\% ethanol, and 0-100\% methanol in de-ionized water were applied to extract nucleotides from mouse lymphoma cells, and nucleotide yields, recovery, and reproducibility were compared. The assay met the commonly accepted validation limits for biological fluids, if 20-80\% acetonitrile in water and 40-60\% ethanol in water were used as extraction solvents.

	abstract = {The contribution of variance from a pressure injection to the final analyte peak in capillary electrophoresis (CE) is studied quantitatively. The band broadening process of CE can be described by the product of the Laplace transformed contributing factors; the inverse transform of the product gives the final peak shape which is the convolution of the original functions. The CE process is, therefore, similar to the chromatographic processes described by Sternberg. Based on the additivity of the variance, the injection induced variance is transferred directly to the final peak. The differences between the concepts of band broadening and peak broadening are discussed. Because the injection length from a pressure induced injection is the same for all analytes, and the migration rates during the CE separation are different for these analytes, the variance contributed by injection is larger for slower migrating analytes. The pressure forced flow generates a parabolic component in an injected sample plug, and this should also be considered in calculating the total injection length (tau). The variance is (1/16)tau(2) for a sample plug with a Gaussian concentration profile, and (1/12)tau(2) for one with a rectangular profile. It is demonstrated that the total variance of an analyte peak increases at the same rate as the injection variance. The difference between the total variance and the injection variance is contributed by longitudinal diffusion and other factors.},
