Two-dimensional chromatography in borate system [12]. The nucleoside mixture from U2 RNA 5′ oligonucleotide (RNase A product) was obtained by digestion with snake venom phosphodiesterase and alkaline phosphatase. The resulting nucleosides were separated with the borate system. Um and Am migrated through the butanol-boric acid while the m 3 2 , 2 , 7 G and C, which form borate complexes, were retained in the butanol-boric acid phase.
