Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A lyophilized sample of Zn4musMT3 was dissolved in Arsaturated deionized water and incubated with 50 mM DTT for 30 min at RT. The solution was acidified to pH 2 with 1 M HCl and separated from the released metal ions by SEC [XK 16/20 column (GE Healthcare) self-packed with Sephadex G50 resin (Sigma-Aldrich)] in 10 mM HCl. The eluted apo-musMT3 fraction was saturated with Ar, lyophilized, and kept at − 80°C for further experiments.
For the preparation of the apo-peptides a further optimised protocol was used: the lyophilized peptides were re-suspended in 10 mM HCl, incubated for 10 min at RT with 30 mM tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) and applied to a Superdex Peptide 10/300 GL SEC column (GE Health-Care) equilibrated with 10 mM HCl under anaerobic conditions (anaerobic chamber). A single symmetrical peak with increased absorption at 220 nm was collected and immediately used for further experiments.

After reaction with glycogen synthase, the glycogen underwent two rounds of ethanol precipitation, as described above except that the reaction was diluted two-fold initially and dissolved in two times the reaction volume after the first precipitation. The glycogen was finally dissolved in 150-160 μl of 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5. A portion (70 μl) was subjected to gel filtration on a spin column (Promega) containing ~1 ml of packed Sephadex G50 resin (Sigma) which had been equilibrated with 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5 and extensively washed with the same buffer. Immediately prior to loading the samples, excess buffer was removed by centrifugation (1,000 x g for 1 min at 16°C). Sample (70 μl) was applied to the spin column, the column centrifuged (1,000 x g for 1 min at 16°C), and the flow-through collected. The gel filtered glycogen and an equivalent unfiltered aliquot of 70 μl were dried in a Speed Vac, dissolved in 25 μl of 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5 and aliquots (20 μl) were made 1X in SDS loading buffer and subjected to SDS-PAGE. From quantitation of the 14C-labeled glycogen, recovery after gel filtration was ~95%.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The protocol for SARS-CoV-2 amplification and sequencing is detailed elsewhere [9 ]. Briefly, viral RNA was reverse-transcribed and amplified using the kit One-Step Invitrogen (SuperScript One-Step for long templates RT-PCR; Foster City, CA) and 2 different primers (5’-3’); 38F (-GTC AGT GTG TTA ATC TTA CAA CCA G-) as the forward, and 1191R (-TGC ATA GAC ATT AGT AAA GCA GAG A-) as the reverse, (the given position refers to the Wuhan strain of SARS-CoV-2). For each PCR reaction, positive and negative controls were used to ensure the effectiveness of the reaction and the absence of cross-contamination, respectively. Amplification results were revealed after agarose-gel electrophoresis and positive results were kept for the sequencing process. PCR products were then purified through the ExoSAP-IT kit (Applied Biosystems, Lithuania). Sequencing was performed with four different overlapping primers: 38F (-GTC AGT GTG TTA ATC TTA CAA CCA G-), 514F (-TCT CAG CCT TTT CTT ATG GAC CT-), 655R (-CCT GAG GGA GAT CAC GCA CTA-) and 1191R (-TGC ATA GAC ATT AGT AAA GCA GAG A-). The sequencing product was purified by gel filtration chromatography using Sephadex G-50 resin (Sigma-Aldrich) to eliminate excess primers, unincorporated dideoxynucleotides (ddNTPs) and salts. Capillary electrophoresis was performed on Applied Biosystems 3500 genetic analyzer (Applied Biosystems, Tokyo, Japan).

The PCR products were purified with the PCR Cleanup KIT (Abbott, Wiesbaden, Germany) and then sequenced on both strands using the BigDye® Terminator Cycle Sequencing Kit v.3.1 (Applied Biosystems). The reaction mixture for the sequencing reaction contained 4 μl ABI PRISM Big Dye Terminator (Applied Biosystem), 3.8 μl water, 4 μl BigDye® TerminatorBuffer 5X1 (Applied Biosystems), 3.2 μl primer (1 pmol) and 5 μl of purified cDNA (40 ng), for a total volume of 20 μl. The sequencing conditions were: one cycle at 96°C for 3 min and 25 cycles (96°C for 30 s, 50°C for 10 s, 60°C for 4 min). Sequencing primers were the same of PCR reactions (see Table 2). The sequence products were purified by gel filtration chromatography using Sephadex G-50 resin (Sigma-Aldrich, Missouri, United States), in order to eliminate excess primers and/or unincorporated dideoxynucleotides (dNTPs), and then separated on an automated sequencer (ABI PRISM-3130 Genetic Analyzer, Applied Biosystems).

spa and MLST amplicons were purified using the DNA Clean and Concentrator kit (Zymo Research, Irvine, California, USA) following the manufacturer’s instructions with a final elution volume of 30 µl. Both forward and reverse strands were sequenced. Each reaction contained 4 µl of sterile distilled water, 2 µl of 5X Big Dye buffer (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, California, USA), 1 µl (4 µM) of the PCR primer, 1 µl of Big Dye terminator mix (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, California, USA) and 4 µl of amplicon DNA. Cycle sequencing was performed on an ABI 9700 thermocycler with cycling conditions set as: 94 °C for 5 min followed by 30 cycles of 94 °C for 15 s, 55 °C for 30 s and 68 °C for 2.5 min with a final extension of 68 °C for 3 min. Sequencing fragments were purified using Sephadex G50 resin (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, Missouri, USA) before loading on the Applied Biosystems 3500 Genetic Analyzer.

Liposomal Calcein Encapsulation Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
5mg total lipid with a ratio of 4:2:1 PC:PE:PS (Avanti polar lipids) in chloroform was dried under vacuum to give a solvent-free film. This was hydrated in 1ml of Calcein buffer (50mM calcein, 100mM NaCl, 10mM Na2HPO4 2mM KH2PO4) and freeze-thawed three times. The lipid suspension was then extruded 10 times through a 1μm polycarbonate membrane filter (Whatman) using a Mini Extruder (Avanti polar lipids). Un-encapsulated calcein was removed from the extruded suspension by size exclusion chromatography using sephadex G-50 resin (Sigma Aldrich), while PBS pH 7.5 (liposome buffer) was used as the aqueous phase buffer. Liposomes were stored at 4 °C and used within 1 week of creation.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In brief,
an aliquot containing approximately 17 MBq of zirconium-89 in oxalic
acid (1 M, PerkinElmer) was adjusted to pH 7 by the addition of sodium
carbonate (1 M). The resulting solution was added to a solution of
DFO-anti-MT1-MMP-IRDye800CW or DFO-IgG-IRDye800CW in PBS (95–101
μL, 2.3–2.4 mg/mL). The reaction mixture was incubated
at room temperature for 1 h at 450 rpm, and the radiolabeling efficiency
was determined by radio-iTLC using EDTA (50 mM, pH 5.5) as the mobile
phase. RICs were purified from the crude reaction mixture by size
exclusion chromatography using Sephadex-G50 resin (Sigma-Aldrich),
eluting with 100 μL fractions of PBS (pH 7.4) as the eluent.
The radiochemical purity of isolated RICs was determined by radio-iTLC
as previously described.

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.
