Quantitation of Fluorescent Peptides

Internally-quenched fluorescent (IQF) peptides containing an o-aminobenzoic acid (ABZ) group and a C-terminal 3-nitrotyrosine (Y[3NO2]) were synthesised by GL Biochem at >90% purity and were quantitated by amino acid analysis. These peptides were ABZ-STRNGLPS-Y-(3NO2) and GLPVFAEFLPLFSKFGSRMHILK(K-ABZ)STRNGLPS-Y(3NO2). The control fluorescent peptide ABZ-STRN was also synthesised by GL Biochem at >90% purity and quantitated by amino acid analysis. All IQF or fluorescent peptides were solubilised in 25% (v/v) acetonitrile:water. The caspase inhibitor Ac-YVAD-CMK (where Ac, acetyl; CMK, chloromethylketone) was supplied by Peptides International and solubilised in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to 10 mM. All R1 and IK8 peptide variants were supplied by GL Biochem at >85% purity, dissolved in ultrapure water prior to analysis and quantitated using the Direct Detect system (Milllipore) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
