Laccase Inactivation at Low pH

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The inactivation of laccase at low pH was analyzed by drop-wise addition of ice-cold sulfuric acid (1 M; Chem-supply, Seventeen Mile Rocks, Australia) to portions of B. cinerea culture supernatant. Addition was performed on ice to prevent heat denaturation of proteases, and pH was constantly monitored while the supernatant was stirred. A volume of water equivalent to the volume of added acid was added to control samples to account for sample dilution. Low pH samples were kept at 4 °C for 1 h to allow time for inactivation of laccase. Samples were placed back onto ice and the pH returned to 4 with the addition of ice-cold 1 M NaOH (Chem-supply, Seventeen Mile Rocks, Australia). All analyses were performed in triplicate.

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.
