A metal- organic compound tris (4,7- diphenylphenanthroline) ruthenium (Ⅱ) [Ru(DiP)32-] was chosen as a metal marker. The target DNA labeled with Ru (DiP)32- was electrophoresed in an agarose gel and then was analysed by PIXE. The DNA sample with the metal marker showed clearly Ru peaks in the PIXE spectra, while the control showed no Ru peak at all. This method can be used to study biology at the DNA level.展开更多
