3h glutamic acid

Manufactured by PerkinElmer
Sourced in United States

[3H]-glutamic acid is a radioactively labeled form of the amino acid glutamic acid, where the hydrogen atom is replaced with a tritium (3H) isotope. This product is commonly used as a research tool in various scientific applications, such as in vitro and in vivo studies, to investigate the role of glutamic acid in biological processes.

Astrocyte Glutamate Uptake Assay

The uptake of [3H]-glutamic acid was used to determine change in glutamate uptake experienced by astrocytes on soft and stiff surface. The media was removed and replaced by serum free high glucose DMEM containing 50 μM glutamate and 18.5 kBq of [3H]-glutamic acid [Perkin Elmer] which was allowed to incubate at 37 °C of 15 min. Uptake was terminated by removal of working solution and cells washed twice with ice-cold PBS lysed in 10 mM NaOH containing 0.1% Triton X-100. 300 ml of lysate was added to liquid scintillation cocktail [Fisher Scientific] and quantified by counting. The protein content was assayed using Bradford assay [Thermo Scientific Kit 23200]. Results were reported as CPM per mg protein.

Aminoacylation Assay for tRNA Glutamylation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Aminoacylation assays were performed in 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 20 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mg/ml bovine serum albumin (BSA), 4 mM DTT, 4 mM ATP, 20 μM glutamic acid, 0.3 μCi/μl [3H]-glutamic acid (PerkinElmer), and variable amounts of in vitro transcribed human tRNAGlu(TTC) and MBP-ERS proteins, as indicated in the table and figure legends. Reactions were initiated by addition of MBP-ERS protein to a reaction cocktail containing folded tRNA and other components described above. Reactions were quenched on Whatman 3 MM filter pads presoaked with 5% trichloroacetic acid (TCA). The filter pads were washed three times in excess 5% TCA and one time with 95% ethanol and then dried before counting in a liquid scintillation counter (Beckman Coulter LS 6500). Each assay was performed in triplicate, and kinetic parameters were determined by fitting the data to the Michaelis–Menten equation (see Fig. S5).

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.
