Abstract:
This protocol describes necessary steps to isolate and quantify nucleotides and nucleosides from plant samples. Proper sample preparation in combination with liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry enables the sensitive detection and quantification of metabolites of low abundance. Utilizing a liquid-liquid extraction in combination with a weak anion-exchange solid phase extraction enables the separation of negatively charged molecules from uncharged metabolites or cations.
