RNase oxidative refolding activity was measured by means of RNase-catalyzed hydrolysis of cytidine 2′,3′-cyclic monophosphate (cCMP; Sigma–Aldrich) [18,19] . Reduced and denatured RNase (10 μM, Sigma–Aldrich), prepared as described previously [12] (link), was incubated with each recombinant PDIL (1 μM) in 100 mM Tris–HCl (pH 8.0) containing 1 mM GSH, 0.2 mM glutathione disulfide (GSSG), and 2 mM EDTA at 28 °C for the times indicated in the figures, and the reactions were stopped by the addition of N-ethylmaleimide (final concentration, 2 mM). After the addition of 2 mM cCMP, hydrolysis of cCMP resulting from the restoration of RNase activity was measured as an increase in absorbance at 296 nm by means of a spectrophotometer (UV-1800, Shimadzu).
Insulin disulfide reduction assays [20] (link) were performed using dithiothreitol (DTT) or GSH as an electron donor.

Sulfides were measured as previously described (Cline, 1969 (link); Kleinsteuber et al., 2008 (link)) against a blank control. Previously frozen samples were thawed and mixed with 4 ml water and 0.4 ml of Cline’s solution. The mixtures were stored in the dark for 20 min before photometric measurement on an UV-1800 (Shimadzu, Germany) at 670 nm. Due to the high concentrations of sulfides, samples were diluted before measurement. Optical densities of cell suspensions were determined on an UV-1800 (Shimadzu, Germany) at 600 nm. 1 ml culture solution was transferred via syringe into a cuvette filled with a few mg of Na-dithionite, closed with parafilm and shaken until dissolved and then measured using water as control.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Superoxide (O2•−) content in each sample was determined by the method of Chaitanya and Naithani [38 (link)]. One hundred milligram of soybean (24 h soaked) seeds from different treatments were homogenised with chilled sodium phosphate buffer (0.2 M; pH 7.2) containing diethyldithiocarbamate (10–3 M) to inhibit the activity of superoxide dismutase. After centrifugation of homogenate at 10,000 rpm on 4 °C for 15 min, the O2•− content was measured in the supernatant by its capacity to reduce nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT, 2.5 × 10−4 M) with a UV–Vis spectrophotometer (UV-1800, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). The absorbance was taken at 540 nm and the content was expressed as μmol O2•−g−1 fresh weight (FW) of seeds by using the molar absorption coefficient of 12.8 mM−1 cm−1.
Nitric oxide (NO) content was measured by Greiss reagent (1% sulphanilamide + 0.1% N-1-napthylethylenediamine dihydrochloride in 5% H2PO4 solution) as described in the method of Zhou et al. [39 (link)]. It was estimated as absorbance of the sample at 540 nm with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (UV-1800, Shimadzu, Japan) using a standard curve prepared with NaNO2. The NO content was expressed in nmol NO g−1 fresh weight of seeds.

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.
