X-Band (∼9.6 GHz) EPR spectra were recorded on an EMX plus 10/12 spectrometer (Bruker, Billerica, MA), equipped with Oxford ESR910 Liquid Helium cryostat. For the oxidized protein samples, 200 μL of 1 mM as-isolated purified protein were mixed with 50 μl of glycerol in TBS buffer (20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, pH 8.0). For reduced protein samples, 10 mM sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4) was added to the above protein solutions. Then, the protein samples were transferred into 4 mm diameter quartz EPR tubes (Wilmad 707-SQ-250 M) and frozen in liquid nitrogen. The EPR signals of oxidized and reduced proteins were recorded at different temperatures (10 K, 25 K, 45 K, and 60 K) with a modulation amplitude of 2 G, a microwave frequency of 9.40 GHz, an incident microwave power of 2 mW, and a sweep time of 25.60 s.

The morphology and size of the NPs were recorded by transmission electron microscopy (TEM, Model Tecnai 12, Philips Co., Ltd., Holland) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM, ΣIGMA, Zeiss, Germany). The elemental analysis was detected by sectional energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The Zeta potential was detected by Brookhaven Zataplus. Particle size and size distribution of these NPs were analyzed by dynamic light scattering (DLS, BI-9000AT, Brookhaven). X-ray diffraction (XRD) (λ = 1.54056 Å, Bruker Co., Ltd., Germany) was utilized to detect the crystalline phases of these samples. The hybrid bonding state of the samples were determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, Thermo Fisher K-Alpha, America). The UV-vis absorbance spectra of the products were measured by UV-vis spectrophotometry (UV3100, Shimadzu, Japan). The content of Pt in cells, organs and tumors was detected by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer (ICP-MS; NexION 300 D, PerkinElmer Corporation, America). Hydroxyl radical was investigated with DMPO by spin-trapping EPR technique (Bruker EMXplus-10/12 spectrometer, Germany).

EPR radical scavenging activity was measured following the method of Azman et al. (2014a (link)). The extraction was executed in MeOH with 1:10 (w/v) ratio and the soluble concentration of BP was determined by lyophilization. A spin-trapping reaction mixture consisted of 100 μL of DMPO (35 mM); 50 μL of H2O2 (10 mM); 50 μL BP extract at different concentrations or 50 μL of ferulic acid used as reference (0–20 g/L) or 50 μL of pure MeOH used as a control; and, finally, 50 μL of FeSO4 (2 mM), added in this order. The final solutions (125 μL) were passed to a narrow (inside diameter =2 mm) quartz tube and introduced into the cavity of the EPR spectrometer. The spectrum was recorded 10 min after the addition of the FeSO4 solution, when the radical adduct signal is greatest. X-band EPR spectra were recorded with a Bruker EMX-Plus 10/12 spectrometer under the following conditions: microwave frequency, 9.8762 GHz; microwave power, 30.27 mW; centre field, 3522.7 G; sweep width, 100 G; receiver gain, 5.02 × 104; modulation frequency, 100 kHz; modulation amplitude, 1.86 G; time constant, 40.96 ms; conversion time, 203.0 ms.

Quantitative Analysis of Hydroxyl Radical Generation

To further quantitatively analyze the production of OH, a conventional colorimetric method based on the oxidation of TMB was conducted. Typically, the Fe‐MnPS3/PDA‐PEG (500 ppm), H2O2 (1 mm), and TMB (20 mm) were efficiently mixed, and the total volume was 1 mL. After the reaction in darkness, the photographs and UV–vis–NIR absorbance spectra of oxidized TMB were acquired, respectively. The OH generation was further assessed via a common MB degradation method. Specifically, Fe‐MnPS3/PDA‐PEG nanosheets (500 ppm) were mixed with the MB (10 ppm) and H2O2 (1 mm) solutions and kept in darkness. The OH‐induced MB degradation was determined by monitoring the decrease in the absorption peak of MB using a UV–vis–NIR spectrophotometer. Besides, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) was then applied to further verify the generation of·OH. 25 µL 5,5‐dimethyl‐1‐pyrroline N‐oxide (DMPO) solution (200 mm) was mixed with 25 µL solutions including H2O2 (1 mm) and Fe‐MnPS3/PDA‐PEG nanosheets (500 ppm) under varying conditions. Subsequently, the mixture was instantly added to a capillary tube, and the EPR spectrum was acquired by a Bruker EMXplus‐10/12 spectrometer.

X-band (9.6 GHz) EPR spectra of the MagR proteins were recorded using an EMX plus 10/12 spectrometer (Bruker, USA), equipped with an Oxford ESR-910 liquid helium cryostat. Briefly, 1 mmol/L oxidized proteins (as-purified) in buffer E (20 mmol/L Tris, 150 mmol/L NaCl, 5 mmol/L d-desthiobiotin, pH8.0) were mixed in a total volume of 200 μL with 50 μL of glycerol, respectively. The 1 mmol/L reduced proteins were obtained by adding 2 μL of Na2S2O4 (1 mol/L) to the protein samples. The protein samples were then transferred into a 4 mm diameter quartz EPR tube (Wilmad 707-SQ-250 M, USA) and frozen in liquid nitrogen. The EPR signals of the oxidized and reduced proteins were recorded at different temperatures (10, 25, 45, and 60 K).

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.
