Dansyl (5-(dimethylamino) naphthalene-1-sulfonyl chloride) is an amine-reactive fluorescent dye. Dansyl-CaM was prepared as described previously (85 (link)). CaM (1 mg/ml) was transferred into 10 mm NaHCO3, 1 mm EDTA, pH 10.0, at 4 °C. 30 μl of 6 mm dansyl-chloride (1.5 mol/mol of CaM) in DMSO was added to 2 ml of CaM, with stirring. After incubation for 12 h at 4 °C, the mixture was first dialyzed against 500 volumes of 150 mm NaCl, 1 mm EDTA, 20 mm Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, at 4 °C, and then dialyzed against 500 volumes of water. Labeling yields were determined from absorbance spectra using the ϵ320 of 3,400 m−1 cm−1 and were compared with protein concentrations determined using the Bradford method with wild-type CaM used as the protein standard (86 (link)) ESI-MS was used to confirm successful dansyl-labeling of CaM protein. The concentration of dansyl-CaM in all experiments was 2 μm. Steady-state fluorescence was performed in a similar manner as the Trp experiments, except that a newer Fluorolog 3-22 (Horiba Scientific, Ltd.) fluorimeter was used, and the buffer used was 10 mm HEPES, pH 7.0, with supplemented 0.1 mm CaCl2.

The quantum yield determinations were performed with a Cary 300 UV/Vis spectrophotometer and a Fluorolog‐3–22 fluorimeter, whereby the data were corrected for changes in refractive indices. Excitation of reference standard and samples was performed at λ=335 nm, and the concentration was held below an absorbance value of 0.1. During all the measurements, the same quartz glass cuvette was used, and the orientation of the cuvette in the spectrometers was always identical.

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.
