For biophysical validation, Myc910–960 peptides were purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific with 90% purity. The fluorescence lifetime of Trp in Myc peptide was measured using the DeltaFlex TCSPC system (Horiba Scientific). A quartz cuvette of 1 cm × 1 cm and 1 ml volume were used to record the spectra. The excitation monochromator's wavelength was set up at 284 nm, and the emission monochromator at 345 nm. The measurement range was set up to 200 ns with 32 nm of bandpass and peak preset of 10,000 counts. LUDOX was used to correct the instrument response factor at 284-nm wavelength. 7.5 μM Myc peptide sample with L755507 and 10074-G5 was prepared in 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7) and incubated for 10 min at 25 °C before taking the measurement. The decay curve was fitted into a biexponential decay function using Data Analysis Software provided by Horiba Scientific.

The fluorescence lifetime of tryptophan residue (Trp161) in NSP1-CTR in absence and presence of MTX was measured using the Horiba Scientific DeltaFlex TCSPC system at 25 °C. The samples were excited at 284 nm using the nanoLED as a light source. The wavelength of the emission monochromator was set at 346 nm. The measurement range was adjusted to 400 ns with bandpass of 32 nm and peak preset of 10 000 counts. Ludox was used to correct the instrument response factor (IRF) at 284 nm. The concentration of NSP1-CTR was kept constant at 8 μM and in presence of 50 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.4) buffer. Finally, the three exponential decay function fitting was used to obtain the tryptophan lifetimes.

Time-Resolved Anisotropy Decay Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To confirm the binding of NSP1-CTR and MTX, time-resolved anisotropy decay was measured using DeltaFlex TCSPC system (Horiba Scientific) at 25 °C. A 1 ml pathlength quartz cuvette was used to record the measurements where the measurement range was set up to 200 ns. The bandpass of 16 nm, peak preset of 1000 counts, and repetition rate of 1 MHz were used during experimentation. The protein concentration was kept constant at 30 μM. At 284 nm wavelength, Ludox was used for adjusting the instrument response factor (IRF). Using the data analysis software DAS6 (Horiba Scientific), the resultant anisotropy decay curves were fitted into a bi-exponential decay function:22 where, anisotropy at time t is denoted by r(t) and initial anisotropy is denoted by r0, and A1 and A2 defines the rotational correlation time θ1 and θ2, respectively.

UV-visible spectroscopy measurements were performed using a Shimadzu UV-2501PC spectrophotometer and Shimadzu UV-3600 Plus spectrophotometer using quartz cuvettes. Photoluminescence spectroscopy was performed using Cary Eclipse spectrophotometer and a Shimadzu RF-6000 spectrofluorometer. Raman spectra were acquired using an NT-MDT NTEGRA Spectra system with 473 nm laser excitation and Renishaw inVia system with 532 nm laser excitation. The photoluminescence background was subtracted using spine interpolation and the spectra were then normalized to the Raman mode at ~2900 cm−1. Time-resolved photoluminescence measurements were performed with a Horiba DeltaFlex TCSPC system with excitation at 336 nm, 349 nm and 409 nm using a 6 nm bandpass. 1H NMR spectroscopy was performed on a Varian VNMRS 600 spectrometer operating at a 1H frequency of 599.7 MHz.

The anisotropy decay was measured using the DeltaFlex TCSPC system (Horiba Scientific). A quartz cuvette of 1 cm × 1 cm and 1 ml volume were used to record the spectra. The measurement range was set up to 200 ns with 16 nm of bandpass, peak preset of 1000 counts, and repetition rate of 1 MHz. The protein sample (20 μM Myc) with compound L755507 was incubated for half an hour at 25 °C before taking the measurement. LUDOX was used for correcting the instrument response factor at 284-nm wavelength. The anisotropy decay curve was fitted into two exponential decay function using Data Analysis Software provided by Horiba Scientific. The anisotropy decay curve can be expressed by the following equation (33 ). r(t)=r0[A1exp(tθ1)+A2exp(tθ2)] Where, r(t) is the anisotropy at time t, r0 is the intrinsic or initial anisotropy, A1 and A2 are the amplitude associated with the rotational correlation time θ1 and θ2 , respectively.

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.
