The extract was determined for total phenolic content (TPC) using the Folin-Ciocalteu method with minor modifications58 (link). The freeze-dried extract was dissolved in distilled water to a concentration of 1 mg/mL. Gallic acid was used as the standard and a calibration curve was established (0 – 1000 mg/mL). The extract or gallic acid (0.5 mL) was added to 2.5 mL Folin-Ciocalteu reagent (tenfold diluted with distilled water) and mixed thoroughly for 3 min. Sodium carbonate (2 mL, 7.5% w/v) was added to the mixture and the mixture was allowed to stand for 30 min at room temperature. The absorbance of the mixture was measured using a Perkin Elmer Lambda 25 UV–VIS spectrophotometer (Norwalk, USA) at 760 nm. TPC was expressed as mg gallic acid equivalent/g dry weight of extract (mg GAE/g extract).

Characterizing Fluorescent Protein Optical Properties

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Absorption spectra and excitation/emission spectra of FPs were measured separately using a LAMBDA-25 UV/Vis spectrophotometer (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, USA) and a LS55 fluorescence spectrophotometer (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, USA) equipped with a red sensitive photomultiplier tube (Hamamatsu Photonics, Hamamatsu, Japan). Molar extinction coefficients were quantified using a alkali denaturation method [12 ,13 ]. In order to measure accurately the quantum yields, according to the description of optical dilution measurement [14 ], protein samples were first diluted in PBS (pH7.4) with UV absorption value in the range of 0.01–0.05. Fluorescence intensity of the mutant FP was compared with that of mNeptune (a quantum yield of 0.2). In order to facilitate the brightness comparisons between different FP variants, the brightness of all the proteins is converted to the relative brightness, which is relative to the brightness of EGFP (the product of quantum yield and extinction coefficient compared to the brightness of EGFP (53,000M-1cm-1×0.60) [15 (link)]).

Quantifying Lipid Peroxidation in Wheat Seedlings

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lipid peroxidation levels in wheat seedlings were estimated by measuring the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), according to the method described by Verma and Dubey [57 (link)]. This method is based on the formation of red pigment, generated by the reaction of lipid peroxidation breakdown products like malondialdehyde (MDA) with thiobarbituric acid at an optimum pH of 3.5. Briefly, the frozen wheat powder was homogenized with 0.1% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) solution (1/5, w/v) and centrifuged for 10 min at 10,000× g and 4 °C. The reaction mixture that consisted of 0.5 mL of tissue extract and 1 mL of reagent (0.5% thiobarbituric acid in 20% TCA) was incubated for 30 min at 95 °C on a TS-100 Thermo-Shaker (Biosan, Riga, Latvia). After cooling the reaction mixture, the produced red pigment was measured at 532 and 600 nm on a LAMBDA 25 UV-Vis spectrophotometer equipped with UV WinLab v6.0.4 software package (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA). The results were expressed as nmol/g of FW.

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.
