Studies of the Metal Ion Complexes of Purines and Pyrimidines by Electrophoresis and Other Methods

Year: 1963 DOI: 10.7907/Y9PS-DG32
A density-gradient-stabilized electrophoresis apparatus has been designed and built.

Spectrophotometric and electrophoretic measurements are used to investigate the hydrogen ion, mercuric ion, and methylmercuric ion complexes of purine and pyrimidine derivatives. The results are used to infer the charge of the complexes.

The problem of determining the charge of an ion from its mobility and diffusion coefficient is also considered.
