The catalase activity of IgGs was determined out according to Aebi [53 (link)]. The reaction was run by adding 100 μl IgGs (concentration 0.5 mg/ml) to the incubation mixture (50 mM potassium phosphate (pH 7.0), 30 mM H2O2). The catalase activity of IgGs was determined spectrophotometrically from a decrease of absorbance at 240 nm for 5-8 min caused by the splitting of hydrogen peroxide using Lambda 45 spectrophotometer (Perkin Elmer). All measurements were taken within the linear regions of the time courses and linear part of relative activity dependence upon IgG concentration. For the calculation of the activity, the molar extinction coefficient of hydrogen peroxide (ε = 0.081 mM−1/cm−1) was used [53 (link)]. The measured relative activities for IgGs were normalized to standard conditions (mM Н2О2/min/mg IgGs).

All NP dispersions showed very weak light scattering and were treated from the photophysical point of view as any solution of molecular species. DLS measurements showed no aggregation of the NPs, even after several months. UV-vis absorption spectra were recorded at 25 °C by means of a Perkin-Elmer Lambda 45 spectrophotometer. Emission spectra and lifetime decay were recorded using a HORIBA Jobin Yvon Fluoromax-4 spectrofluorimeter. Photophysical characterization in the absence of oxygen was carried out on samples of dye solutions and NP dispersions after degassing them by freeze-pump-thaw cycling (P = 10−9 Bar; liquid nitrogen as cooling medium) in a custom made quartz cuvette.

Immediately after the last leaf had fully expanded, 20 leaves were obtained from each plot. Ten of the collected leaves were extracted using 96% (v/v) ethanol, and their chlorophyll concentrations were determined by measuring absorbance at 649 and 665 nm using a Lambda 45 spectrophotometer (Perkin-Elmer, USA). The remaining leaves were dried at 70°C until a constant weight, and leaf N concentrations were then determined by the Dumas combustion method [20] on a Rapid N Cube nitrogen analyzer (Elementar, Germany). Leaf N and chlorophyll concentrations were measured four times at 10-d intervals.

Low redox Melanocarpus albomyces laccase (MaL, pH-range 5.0–7.5) was overproduced in Trichoderma reesei. High redox Trametes hirsuta laccase (ThL, pH-range 4.5–5.0) was produced in its native host following chromatographic purification [46 (link),47 (link)]. The reactivities of the enzyme preparations were determined against 2.2-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline)-6-sulfonate (ABTS) at pH 4.5 in 25 mM Na-succinate buffer [46 (link)] using Perkin Elmer Lambda 45 spectrophotometer (USA) at 436 nm (ε = 29.300 M−1 cm−1). For ThL (3.5 mg mL−1), the activity was 5270 nkat mL−1 and, for MaL (8.1 mg mL−1), it was 2050 nkat mL−1. Tgase (pH-range 4–9) [17 (link)] was purchased from Activa MP Ajinomoto (Japan). After further purification, the enzyme activity (8764 nkat mL−1) was determined as previously described [48 (link)].

The UV–vis
spectra were recorded with a PerkinElmer Lambda
45 spectrophotometer. The fluorescence spectra were recorded with
a PerkinElmer LS55 spectrofluorimeter. All of the samples were placed
in a quartz cuvette with 1 cm optical path length. Hydrodynamic diameters
and size distributions of PluS NPs, Sorafenib-loaded PluS NPs (SRF-PluS
NPs), and SRF-F127 micelles were determined using dynamic light scattering
(DLS). DLS measurements were carried out using a Malvern Zetasizer
Nanoseries equipped with a 633 nm laser. All DLS measurements were
performed in PBS (pH 7.4) at 25 °C and at a scattering angle
of 173°. For each sample, mean hydrodynamic sizes and polydispersity
index (PDI) were determined from three measurements of the autocorrelation
function using cumulant analysis. Reported mean hydrodynamic diameters
for each condition were determined by averaging values from triplicate
measurements. Errors on mean hydrodynamic diameters were calculated
from the standard deviation (SD) of values obtained from triplicate
measurements.

Recombinant PfNDH2 protein was expressed and purified as described in previous study10 (link). The enzymatic activity of PfNDH2 proteins was measured spectrophotometrically using NADH and ubiquinone-1 (UQ1) as substrates. Standard assays were carried out at 25 °C in 1.6 mL of reaction mixture containing 50 mmol/L MOPS buffer, pH 7.0, 150 mmol/L NaCl, 1 mmol/L EDTA, 0.01% Triton-X-100, 200 μmol/L NADH, 100 μmol/L UQ1, 0.5 nmol/L enzymes, and selected concentrations of inhibitors. Reactions were initiated by the enzyme addition. Progress of the reaction was monitored continuously by following the decrease of signal from NADH at 340 nm, in a Lambda 45 spectrophotometer (PerkinElmer Life Sciences) equipped with a magnetic stirrer in the cuvette holder. Activities were calculated using an NADH extinction of 6220 L/(mol·cm) at 340 nm. IC50 values were determined by nonlinear regression analysis of logistic concentration (GraphPad Prism software). In the enzyme kinetic studies, different concentrations of substrates were used (UQ1: 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100 μmol/L. NADH: 10, 20, 30, 50, 75, 100, 200, 600 μmol/L).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All reagents and solvents were used as received (from Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) without further purification: copper(II) sulphate hydrate (≥98%), 3-(N-Morpholino)propanesulfonic acid (MOPS, ≥99.5%), sodium hydroxide (≥98%), N,N-dimethylformamide (spectroscopic grade, DMF). A Milli-Q system (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) was used for the purification of water (resistivity ≥18.2 MΩ). MOPS bufferstock solution were obtained by a dissolution in Milli-Q water of 3-(N-morpholino)propane sulphonic acid to a final concentration of 10−3 M. The pH was corrected with a solution of sodium hydroxide 1 N to a value of pH 7.4. Absorption spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer Lambda 45 spectrophotometer at room temperature. Spectrophotometric titrations were performed as follows: stock solutions of ligands (ca. 10−3 M) were prepared in DMF, diluted down to the desired concentration, in the quartz cuvette, in MOPS buffer 10−3 M pH 7.4/DMF (1:4) to a final volume of 2.5 mL and then titrated by adding increasing amounts of Cu(II) (3.04 × 10−3 Min DMF).

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.
