However, when they combine with each other to form a complex, the RRS intensity of the solution is enhanced greatly. In this paper the reactions of five cationic surfactants with nucleic acids have been studied. The results show that the reaction conditions and RRS spectral characteristics of these reactions are similar, but their sensitivities are obviously different. Among them, the sensitivity of cetyldimethyl benzylammonium chloride (CDBAC) with an aryl and large molecular weight is the highest, while that of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) without aryl and with small molecular weight is the lowest. The detection limits for ctDNA and yRNA of the former are 6.6 and 29.4 ng@mL?1, while that of the latter are 13.3 and 53.6 ng@mL?1. The method has better selectivity and can be applied to the determination of trace amounts of nucleic acids. Furthermore, it is discovered in the investigation that not only the RRS intensity is related to the structure and molecular weight of the cationic surfactants, but also the change of the RRS intensity is closely related to the conformational change of nucleic acid. Therefore, the RRS method can be expanded to become a useful way to study the nucleic acid conformation.展开更多

However,when TPMD reacts with a CS to form an ion-associate,the RRS intensity is enhanced greatly and a new RRS spectrum appears. The spectral characteristics of the RRS for the ion-associates and the optimum conditions for the reactions are investigated. The intensity of RRS is directly proportional to the mass concentration of CS in the range of 0—3.5 or 0—5.0 μg/mL. The method has a high sensitivity for the determination of CS,their detection limits are between 3.1 and 9.8 ng/mL depending on the different CS. In this case,most metal and non-metal ions do not interfere,so that the method has a good selectivity. Therefore,a sensitive,selective,simple and rapid method for the determination of CS by RRS is developed. [WT5HZ]展开更多
