In order to improve the fluidity of enzymes through the Whatman TM chromatography 1CHR paper, strips were cut (1.5 cm x 3 cm), soaked for 2 h at RT in a buffer solution (200 mM sodium phosphate buffer pH 6.5) containing 0.5 % BSA and 0.1 % Tween ® 20 to and dried overnight at 37 ºC. Stocks of compounds mPD and pPD (20 mM) were prepared in DMSO. A mixture containing one of the selected phenylenediamines (2 mM), ABTS (2 mM), glucose (2 mM) and PEI (10 %) prepared in 200 mM phosphate buffer pH 6.5 was applied by drop casting (2.5 l) on the centre of the paper strip and dried with air stream.

MINERVA Protein Binding Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The PIP strips (Echelon Biosciences, Salt Lake City, UT, USA) were blocked with phosphate-buffered saline containing 0.5% (v/v) Tween-20 (Amersham Biosciences, UK) and 3% (w/v) bovine serum albumin (BSA; Bovogen, East Keilor, Australia) for 1 h and incubated with MINERVAFL or MINERVAΔC for 1 h. MINERVAFL bound strips were treated with α-MINERVA rabbit antibody (5122; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) for 1 h then with HRP-conjugated α-rabbit IgG goat antibody (A120-101P; Bethyl Laboratories, Montgomery, TX, USA) for 1 h. MINERVAΔC bound strips were treated with HRP-conjugated α-His6-tag antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA). The strips were washed with the blocking buffer for 5 min three times between each step. The strips were visualized with an ECL kit (Amersham Biosciences, UK).

Proteins were run on SDS-PAGE gels and transferred to nitrocellulose membrane by electroblotting. Ponceau-S (0.1% Ponceau-S (w/v) (Sigma), in 5% acetic acid) staining was used to identify the location of the proteins on a PVDF membrane. The membrane was blocked with 5% milk powder or BSA, 0.1% Tween 20 (Sigma-Aldrich), for 15 h at 4 °C. Antiserum/antibody was diluted in PBS, 5% milk powder or BSA, 0.1% Tween-20, and protein bands were visualized using the enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) substrate kit (Amersham) and X-ray film sheets.

Sterilization and Germination of Plant Seeds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Seeds were washed with 100% ethanol for a second and sterilised with 2–10% (w/w) hypochlorite solution (Wako) containing 0.2% Tween-20 (Amersham Biosciences, Sweden) for 40 min. The sterilised seeds were washed with sterilised water and planted on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium [MS salt (4.6 g l−1), 0.2% (w/v) gellan gum (Wako), 0.1% (v/v) Gamborg’s vitamin solution (Sigma-Aldrich Co. LLC, MO), pH 5.8]. Sterilisation time, gellan gum concentration and sucrose concentration differed depending on the purpose of the experiment. Details of these differences are described in the result section separately. To determine the appropriate germination conditions, three replications were conducted for each treatment with ca. 30 seeds per plate. Plates were incubated at 24 °C under a 16L: 8D cycle.

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.
