To directly measure the molecular mass of SARS-CoV-2 Ubl1 in solution, the size-exclusion chromatography coupled to multi-angle light scattering (SEC-MALS) assay was performed. The purified 50 μL Ubl1 (~5 mg/mL) protein was injected into column WTC-030S5 (Wyatt Technology, USA) with a flow rate of 0.75 mL/min. The light scattering signal and the refractive index profile were collected with the DAWN and Optilab (Wyatt Technology, USA). The molecular mass was calculated by the software ASTRA 8 (Wyatt Technology, USA).

SEC-MALS Analysis of Protein Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For SEC‐MALS measurements, a Superdex 75 Increase 10/300 GL column (Cytiva Life Sciences) coupled to an ÄKTA pure™ protein purification system was used, which was further connected to a miniDAWN MALS detector and an Optilab differential refractive index (dRI) detector (Wyatt Technology). Measurements were performed at room temperature using buffer C with the addition of 0.02% sodium azide, 0.8 mL min−1 flow rate, and protein concentrations of 1, 2, and 3 mg mL−1 with an injection volume of 100 μL. Reproducibility of the SEC‐MALS runs was ensured by obtaining identical results in the measured BSA (bovine serum albumin) samples (Pierce) at 2 mg mL−1 as the first and last sample of each day's measurements. The first BSA injection was used for detector normalization, peak alignment, and band broadening. The dRI signal was used as a concentration source for molar mass determination in all cases. Data were collected and analyzed using ASTRA 8.0.2.5 software (Wyatt Technology).

SEC‐MALS measurements were performed using a Superdex 75 Increase 10/300 GL column (Cytiva Life Sciences) connected to an Agilent 1260 Infinity II HPLC system, coupled to a miniDAWN MALS detector and an Optilab differential refractive index detector (dRI) (Wyatt Technology). For all experiments, a protein concentration of 2 mg mL−1, a flowrate of 0.8 mL min−1, an injection volume of 100 μL, and buffer C with the addition of 0.02% NaN3 were used. Data collection and analysis were performed with the ASTRA 8.0.2.5 software (Wyatt Technology). For the analysis of each run, the signal of the dRI detector was used for protein concentration determination. A bovine serum albumin (BSA) standard at 2 mg mL−1 was used for MALS detector normalization, correction of peak alignment, peak broadening, and reproducibility.

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.
