The composition of the nanohybrids was
characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) (Shimadzu
FTIR-8101 A) in the range of 4000–400 cm–1. The crystallinity and phases of nanohybrids were examined by an
X-ray diffractometer (Philips PW 1710) equipped with Cu Kα radiation
(λ = 1.54060 Å), a voltage of 40 kV, and a current of 30
mA in the range of 2–80° with 2°/min scanning rate.
The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrographs were taken
to investigate the morphology of the nanohybrid (JEM 2100 JEOL) with
an accelerating voltage of 80 kV. An aqueous suspension of samples
was drop-casted onto carbon-coated cobber grids, followed by drying
of the samples on filter paper in ambient conditions. TGA was performed
to test the nanohybrid thermal stability (25–600 °C) in
which the weight residue was reported separately using 7 mg of sample
at a constant heating rate of 10 °C/min and a nitrogen gas flow
of 10 mL/min for each sample in the TG instrument (TGA-50). The UV–visible
absorption spectra were obtained from a Shimadzu UV-2101 PC spectrophotometer.

Unless otherwise stated, all measurements were carried out in SF50 buffer at 25°C. Stopped-flow experiments were carried out in KinTek SF-2004 and BioLogic SFM 300 apparatuses. Quenched-flow experiments were performed in a KinTek RQF-3 instrument. Post-mixing concentrations are stated in all experiments. In experiments requiring nucleotide-free RecQ, nucleotide contamination was removed by pre-incubation with 0.02-U/ml apyrase for 15 min at 25°C. Pi liberation from ATP was followed using a fluorescently labeled Pi binding protein (MDCC-PBP) (12 (link)). MDCC-PBP calibration was performed as described earlier (13 (link),14 (link)). mdATP and mdADP were excited at 280 nm and fluorescence emission was detected through a 420-nm long-pass filter utilizing FRET (Förster Resonance Energy Transfer) from aromatic residues of RecQ.
Steady-state ATPase measurements were carried out in SF50 buffer plus 50-μg/ml bovine serum albumin using a pyruvate kinase-lactate dehydrogenase (PK-LDH) linked assay (14-U/ml PK, 20-U/ml LDH, 1-mM ATP, 1-mM phosphoenol pyruvate, 200-μM NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced form)).

Chloroauric acid (HAuCl4·3H2O), sodium citrate dihydrate, α-lipoic acid, 3,5-dihydroxybenzyl alcohol, diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD), and triphenylphosphine (TPP) were commercially available and were used without purification. Anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF) was freshly distilled from sodium/benzophenone under argon. All the aqueous solutions were prepared with Milli-Q water (18.2 MΩ cm−1). A Bruker DPX300 300 MHz spectrometer (Billerica, MA, USA) was used to obtain the 1H-NMR spectrum, using tetramethylsilane as internal standard. UV-vis absorption spectra were performed on a Shimadzu UV-2101PC spectrophotometer (Kyoto, Japan). Fourier-transform infrared spectra (FT-IR) were recorded with an Agilent Cary 630 FT-IR spectrometer (Santa Clara, CA, USA). Transmission electron microscopy images were obtained with a JEOL JEM-1010 transmission electron microscope (Tokyo, Japan,) operating at 100 kV. A Malvern Instruments Zetasizer ZS was used for dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements (Worcestershire, UK, 3 times in 10–25 cycles).

Assaying Steady-State Metabolic Fluxes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The steady-state fluxes were measured in standard buffer at 37°C by coupling the reaction with an excess of the auxiliary enzymes TPI and GDH. The final concentrations in the cuvette were 2 mM NADH, 2 mM MgATP, 10 mM Glc, 20 mM PC, 3 U/ml CK, 3.5 U/ml TPI and 0.5 U/ml GDH. NADH consumption was monitored at 385 nm (ε385 nmNADH = 0.75 mM−1 cm−1), as described by Puigjaner et al.[25] (link), using a Shimadzu UV-2101PC Spectrophotometer with 1-cm light path cells. These assay conditions are not quite representative for mouse muscle in vivo, but in view of the considerable amount of consensus building required to achieve proper in vivo standard conditions [27] (link), we here reverted to conditions that are not far off from the in vivo state and that our previous work [15] (link), [25] (link) has shown to work well.
Extracts were pre-incubated with Cd(NO3)2 (0–7 µM) and Hg(NO3)2 (0–10 µM) in standard buffer at 37°C for 60 min. The reaction was then started by adding 100 µl of the reaction mixture to 900 µl of the pre-incubated extract.

Wild type VWF A1 (Q1238-P1471) and its mutants
G1324S and P1337L were expressed in E. coli M15 cells as fusion constructs
containing an N-terminal His6 tag. Inclusion body preparation,
refolding and purification of the proteins were performed as previously
described [12 (link), 55 (link)]. RCAM A1 was prepared in 2 M GdnHCl by reduction
of the single disulfide bond connecting N- and C-termini of A1 with 6 mM DTT,
followed by blocking with 12 mM iodoacetamide as previously described [27 (link), 30 (link)]. A2 and A3 domains were expressed and purified from E. coli M15
cells as fusion constructs containing an N-terminal His6 tag. A2 was
purified in the presences of CaCl2. Wild type A1A2A3 tridomains
(amino acids Q1238 - G1874) and the mutants P1337L, V1314D and F1369I in A1A2A3
were expressed in HEK293 cells as fusion proteins containing a C-terminal
His6 tag and purified via Ni2+ affinity chromatography
as described previously [34 (link), 35 (link)]. The purity of the A1 and of A1A2A3
domains was confirmed via Analytical Gel filtration and/or RP-HPLC as recently
described [55 (link)]. A1 and A1A2A3
concentrations were measured on a Shimadzu UV2101PC spectrophotometer using
extinction coefficients of 15350 L/mol/cm for the A1 domain and 74497 L/mol/cm
for A1A2A3.

All protein concentrations were determined on a UV2101PC spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) after centrifugation of the solutions at 60,000 × g at 4°C for 10 or 20 minutes to remove potential protein aggregates. The extinction coefficients used for C4 and C1-CTCK were 11,260 and 41,515 L mol
−1cm
−1and were calculated from the number of tryptophan and tyrosine residues.
CD spectra were recorded at 25°C on an Aviv Biomedical Model 420SF CD spectrophotometer. Spectra in the far-ultraviolet (far-UV) range (200–260 nm) were recorded using a 1 mm quartz cell with an integration time of 60 seconds and band- and step-widths of 1 nm. Near-UV CD spectra were recorded using either a 10 cm cylindrical quartz cell (for both C1CTCK proteins) or a 0.2 or 1 cm quartz cell (both for wtVWF and p.Pro2555Arg C4, respectively). The integration time was 60 or 120 seconds and band- and step-widths were 1 nm. All spectra were corrected for the signal of the corresponding buffer and converted to mean ellipticity per amino acid residue.

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.
