John:
We have done that. We have used the Pierce AA511 column and sodium citrate
buffer for elution. The dimethyl arginines eluted off the column after
50-60 minutes but the asymmetric and symmetric dimethyl arginines are too
close to be separated. We detect the peaks by ninhydrin. Alternatively,
we use the PicoTag system and a very shallow gradient to do the
separation. The mono- and the two dimethyl-arginines can be well
separated. You can write me for further details.
