Figure 3. Detection of in vivo •OH attack on cress seed radicle cell walls by 3H-fingerprinting (Fry et al., 2001). (A) Representative 3H-fingerprints of acidic products from radicle samples. Signal intensity in the scintillation count is plotted against distance from the origin after high voltage paper electrophoresis (PE) at pH 3.5. Monosaccharide markers were run with the samples. (B) Representative 3H-fingerprints of neutral products from radicle samples. Neutral material (that which co-migrated with glucose during PE) was eluted and re-run by paper chromatography (PC) in an acidic solvent. Peaks N1 and N2 remain unidentified: they did not co-migrate exactly with any monosaccharide tested, and when eluted and re-run in a basic solvent, they migrated within the disaccharide zone (more slowly than the slowest monosaccharide, data not shown). They may therefore have been disaccharides containing unusual sugar residues not susceptible to Driselase digestion. Acidic markers: GalO = galactonic acid, GalA = galacturonic acid, GlcA = glucuronic acid. Neutral markers: Gal = galactose, Glc = glucose, Gal-ol = galactitol, Ara = arabinose, Xyl-ol = xylitol, Xyl = xylose, Fuc = fucose, Rib = ribose.
