Zaba spin desalting columns

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

Zaba spin desalting columns are designed for the rapid and effective removal of small molecules, salts, and other contaminants from protein samples. The columns utilize a size-exclusion chromatography approach to separate the target protein from unwanted substances, allowing for buffer exchange and sample purification.

ITC Analysis of Nucleotide Binding to DarB and Rel

All ITC experiments were performed on a VP-ITC microcalorimeter (MicroCal Inc). Prior to the ITC measurements the buffer of the protein solution was exchanged using the “Zaba” spin desalting columns (Thermo Scientific) to 50 mM Tris–HCl pH 7.5, 200 mM NaCl. The nucleotides were individually dissolved in the same buffer (c-di-AMP, c-di-GMP, 3′3′c-GMP-AMP, 2′3′c-GMP-AMP, AMP, and ATP). Measurements were carried out with 10 μM DarB in the sample cell and 100 μM nucleotide in the titration syringe. For the identification of differences in affinity toward RelNTD comparing DarB WT and mutants, all proteins were dialyzed against the same buffer (50 mM Tris–HCl pH 8.3, 200 mM NaCl). The experiments were carried out with 10 μM RelNTD in the sample cell and 100 μM DarB mutant in the titration syringe. All experiments were carried out at 20 °C and a stirring speed of 307 rpm. All parameters for the titration series are given in Table S1. The data analysis was carried out using the MicroCal PEQ-ITC Analysis, Malvern Panalytical software. The protein and ligand concentration were determined by using either the Bradford assay (38 (link)) or a Nanodrop spectrophotometer (NANODROP 2000 Spectrometer, Thermo Scientific).

Labeling α-CD20 Antibodies via SPAAC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To avoid dye labeling and to further increase the steric hindrance of different DBCO-functionalized α-CD20 as well as to affect the binding affinities of antibodies for the in vitro selection study, azide-A488 was conjugated to α-CD20 through SPAAC with the terminal DBCO in the antibody. Briefly, DBCO-functionalized α-CD20 (2 mg/mL in PBS) was incubated with calculated amounts of azide Fluor 488 (50 mg/mL in DMSO) at 20 °C for 1 h (in the dark). The terminal DBCO to azide A488 molar ratio was 1:1. The dye-labeled antibodies were first purified via prewashed Zaba spin desalting columns (7,000 MWCO, ThermoFisher). The Alexa Fluor 488-labeled antibodies were further purified via equilibrium dialysis against PBS for 3 days at 5 °C (in the dark) via 10 kDa cutoff Slide-A-Lyzer Dialysis cassettes. The purified antibodies were sterilized via passing through a PVDF syringe filter (0.2 μm pore size) and stored at 5 °C (in the dark) before further experiments took place. The concentrations of the Alexa Fluor 488-labeled antibodies were quantified with the BCA protein assay (Pierce) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
