Cy7-labeled Nerve-binding Peptide Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nerve-binding peptide (NP41, China Peptides Co. Ltd.) was labeled with Cy7 monosuccinimidyl ester (Cy7-NHS; AAT Bioquest Inc.) at 25°C as in a previous study (46 (link)). Briefly, Cy7-NHS and NP41 were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (Aladdin), respectively. After overnight shaking in darkness, the product was dialyzed for 24 hours to remove unconjugated Cy7-NHS or NP41. Last, the product was lyophilized to obtain Cy7-NP41. The fluorescence intensity of Cy7-NP41 was measured at various concentrations (0, 0.3, 0.6, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 159 μM). The steady conjugation of Cy7-NHS and NP41 was characterized by mass spectroscopy. Both optical absorption spectra of the Cy7-NP41 and Cy7-NHS were acquired by a UV-vis spectrophotometer (UV3600, Shimadzu, Japan). Fluorescence excitation and emission spectrum were monitored using a fluorescence spectrofluorometer (F-7000, Hitachi, Japan). The optical absorption peaks of Cy7-NP41 and Cy7 dissolved in fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco) were monitored at different time points over 48 hours. All reactions were performed in the dark. The cytotoxicity of the Cy7-NP41 was evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8 assay, Solarbio).

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.
