Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sulfobetaine homopolymers were synthesized by aqueous reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Typically, the MASB monomer was dissolved in pure water, followed by the chain transfer agent (CTA), 4-(2carboxyethylsulfanylthiocarbonyl)sulfanyl-4-cyanopentanoic acid. The initiator, 2,2 0 -azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] was dissolved in methanol and mixed with the monomer/CTA solution. The molar ratio of monomer to CTA and initiator was [monomer] :
[CTA] : [initiator] = 100 : 1 : 0.3, and the final concentration of the monomer was set to 0.1 M. The solvent was a mixture of pure water and methanol at a volume ratio of 2 : 1. Nitrogen gas was bubbled for 30 min to remove dissolved oxygen, and the polymerization was carried out in an oil bath at 60 1C for 18 h. The polymer was purified by dialysis in pure water (MWCO = 3500) for 7 days to remove any unreacted monomer. The polymer powder was obtained by freeze-drying the purified solution. The molecular weight of the polymers was determined via gel permeation chromatography using a JASCO system (Tokyo, Japan) with TSKgel G3000PW XL and G4000PW XL columns (Tosoh Co. Tokyo, Japan). The eluent was aqueous NaNO 3 (400 mM) calibrated with PEG standards.

Total uronic acid content was determined by a colorimetrical method [17 (link)] using glucuronic acid as a standard. Protein content was measured by a Bicinchoninic Acid Protein Assay Kit (BCA kit) (Sigma-Aldrich, 3050 Spruce Street, St Louis, MO 63103, USA) [18 (link)] using bovine serum albumin as a standard. Sulfate content was assayed using an ion chromatography method [19 (link)]. Molecular weight (Mw) was determined by a high-performance liquid chromatography, coupled with a refractive index detector (Agilent Technologies, Wilmington, DE, USA), with a column of TSKgel G3000PWXL (TOSOH, Tokyo, Japan). Aqueous Na2SO4 solution (0.1 mol/L) was used as the mobile phase and the flow rate was 0.5 mL/min. The temperature of the column was maintained at 35 °C. Dextrans were used as standards to calibrate the column [20 (link)].

The dialyzed liquid phases after water extraction process (in the absence of carrageenans) obtained at different temperatures were evaluated to determine the profile of molar mass distribution by High Performance Size Exclusion Chromatography (HPSEC). A High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC) from Agilent (Germany) was required to analyze this feature. The equipment was provided by two columns from Tosoh Bioscience (Germany), both were placed in series (300 mm × 7.8 mm TSKGel G3000PWXL and 300 mm × 7.8 mm TSKGel G2500PWXL) and a guard-column was also positioned in front (PWX-guard column, 40 mm × 6 mm) fitted by a refractive index (RI) detector. Columns were working at 70 °C and the flow of the mobile phase (Milli-Q water) was 0.4 mL/min. In order to establish a pattern, dextrans (DX) at a molecular weight of between 1000 and 80,000 g/mol from Fluka (USA) were used.

The molecular weight profiles of the liquid samples were assessed by high-performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC). The columns used were a pre-guard column PWX-guard (40 × 6 mm2) and the columns TSKGel G3000PWXL and G2500PWXL (300 × 7.8 mm2), both from Tosoh Bioscience (Stuttgart, Germany). A refractive index (RI) detector was used to obtain the chromatograms, with the operation conditions: 70 °C, Milli-Q water as the mobile phase, and 0.4 mL/min the flow rate. Dextrans from 1 kDa to 80 kDa were used as patterns.

Digestion of β-1,3:1,4-glucan with enzyme was performed using a reaction mixture (total volume, 1 mL) consisting of the enzyme, 0.3% (w/v) β-1,3:1,4-glucan, and 50 mM 3-morpholinopropanesulfonic acid-NaOH buffer (pH 6.5). The apparent molecular weight (Mr) of the β-glucan was estimated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a Shimadzu LC-10 A (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) fitted with a refractive index detector (Shimadzu) and tandem columns (each 7.8 × 300 mm) of TSKgel G3000PWXL and G2500PWXL (Tosoh, Tokyo, Japan), equilibrated and eluted with 0.2 M potassium phosphate buffer (pH 6.9) at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min and at 40 °C.

Conjugate, free protein and free GACox samples were eluted on a TSK gel G3000 PWXL (30 cm × 7.8 mm) column (particle size 7 µm) with TSK gel PWXL guard column (4.0 cm × 6.0 mm; particle size 12 µm) (TosohBioscience, King of Prussia, PA, USA). The mobile phase was 0.1 M NaCl, 0.1 M NaH2PO4, 5% CH3CN, pH 7.2 at the flow rate of 0.5 mL/min (isocratic method for 35 min). Sample volume of injection was 80 µL. Void and bed volume calibration was performed with λ-DNA (λ-DNA Molecular Weight Marker III 0.12–21.2 Kbp, Roche, Risch-Rotkreuz, Switzerland) and sodium azide (NaN3, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), respectively. GACox peaks were detected by refractive index (RI). Protein and conjugate peaks were also detected using tryptophan fluorescence (emission spectrum at 336 nm, with excitation wavelength at 280 nm). For the Kd determination the following equation was used: Kd = (TeT0)(TtT0)
where: Te = elution time of the analyte, T0 = elution time of the bigger fragment of λ-DNA and Tt = elution time of NaN3.

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.
