All chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). HPLC grade solvents were purchased from Fisher Scientific (Nepean, ON, Canada). Reactions were performed using glassware that was oven-dried. Air- and moisture-sensitive liquids and solutions were transferred via syringe or stainless steel cannula. Organic solutions were concentrated under reduced pressure (∼15 Torr) by rotary evaporation. Solvents were purified by passage under 12 psi through activated alumina columns. Detailed procedures for synthesis of substrate probes and reactions for Hammett analysis are provided in the ESI. DESI-MS studies were performed on a high-resolution mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific LTQ Orbitrap XL Hybrid Ion Trap-Orbitrap mass spectrometer) using a homebuilt DESI source. The details of DESI-MS experiments are described in the ESI. The online ESI-MS experiment for real time monitoring of the Cu(i) species was performed using the pressurized infusion method originally described by McIndoe and coworkers.20 See the ESI for complete experimental details.

The LC-MS setup consisted of a Waters Acquity UPLC system (Waters, Milford, MA, USA) and an LTQ Orbitrap XL hybrid ion Trap-Orbitrap mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) equipped with an Ion Max electrospray source. Chromatographic separation of muropeptides and precursors was performed on an Acquity ultraperformance LC (UPLC) HSS T3 C18 column (1.8 μm, 100 Å, 2.1 by 100 mm). Mobile phase A consisted of 99.9% H2O and 0.1% formic acid, while mobile phase B consisted of 95% acetonitrile, 4.9% H2O, and 0.1% formic acid. All solvents used were of LC-MS grade or better. The flow rate was set to 0.5 ml min−1. The binary gradient program consisted of 1 min of 98% phase A, 12 min of from 98% A to 85% A, and 2 min of from 85% A to 0% A. The column was then flushed for 3 min with 100% phase B, after which the gradient was set to 98% and the column was equilibrated for 8 min. The column temperature was set to 30°C, and the injection volume used was 5 μl. The temperature of the autosampler tray was set to 8°C. Data were collected in the positive electrospray ionization (ESI) mode, with a scan range of m/z 500 to 2,500 in high-range mode. The resolution was set to 15,000 (at m/z 400).

Cytochrome c-Maltose Binding in Fused Droplets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Thermo Scientific LTQ Orbitrap XL Hybrid Ion Trap-Orbitrap mass spectrometer was used for the cytochrome c–maltose binding studies in fused droplets. Two ESI-like spray sources are equipped with an X–Y–Z micro positioning linear and angular stage for accurate alignment of the two streams of droplets (See Fig. 1b). This alignment is important for ensuring fusion of most of the incident droplets and to maintain a linear trajectory toward the mass spectrometer inlet. The best alignment was acquired with the angle between two crossed droplet streams at 78°, which showed the highest probability of droplet fusion and straight trajectories of the fused droplets to the inlet of the mass spectrometer. Two aqueous solutions of analytes (cytochrome c at a concentration of 100 μM and maltose at a concentration of 100 mM) were injected from the two ESI sources with a syringe pump (Harvard Apparatus, Holliston, MA) at a flow rate of 30 μl min−1 in positive ion mode. The heated capillary temperature was maintained at approximately 275 °C, and the ion-spray voltage was kept at +5 kV. For measurement of the size and velocities of the fused droplets over a distance x, we used a high-speed optical camera (Phantom v1610, Vision Research, Wayne, NJ).

1 mmol (110 μl) benzaldehyde was mixed with 1 mmol (145 μl) aminoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal and heated at 100 °C for 2 h to form (Z)-N-benzylidene-2,2-diethoxyethanamine precursor (C, in Scheme 1).

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.
