  • Patent number: 6127124
    Abstract: Methods for the determination of nuclease stability of an oligomeric compound and its deletion sequences by capillary gel electrophoresis using laser-induced fluorescence detection (LIF CGE) are provided. Fluorescently labeled oligomeric compounds are treated with one or more agents having nuclease activity resulting in an assay mixture of the original oligomeric compound and its deletion sequences. A diluted aliquot taken directly from the assay mixture is analyzed using LIF CGE. Results of the assay yield quantitative concentrations of the oligomeric compound and each of the deletion sequences. In further embodiments, the invention provides methods for determining the relative binding affinity of one or more oligomeric compounds for a substrate having nuclease activity, and methods for determining the nuclease activity of an enzyme.
