J 1500 cd spectrometer

Manufactured by Jasco
Sourced in Japan, United States, Germany, United Kingdom

The J-1500 CD spectrometer is a laboratory instrument designed for the measurement of circular dichroism (CD) spectra. It provides accurate and reliable CD data across a wide wavelength range. The J-1500 is capable of measuring the differential absorption of left and right circularly polarized light by chiral molecules, which is a fundamental property of many biological and chemical samples.

Temperature of maximum heat capacity (or half-denaturation temperature, Td) of TaTPI was measured by CD spectroscopy. Experimental sample was prepared following purification and concentration of TaTPI proteins to 0.4 mg ml-1 containing 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5. CD traces of TaTPI were obtained at 222 nm using the J-1500 CD spectrometer (JASCO) at a scanning rate of 1°C min-1. The denaturation curve of TaTPI was analyzed by Kaleidagraph (Synergy Software) based on John and Weeks’s protocol [22 (link)].
Effect of pH variation on the secondary structure of TaTPI was also monitored by CD spectroscopy. pH of protein solutions containing 20 mM Tris-HCl and 200 mM NaCl was adjusted to desired values between pH 1.0 and pH 7.0 with HCl for CD measurements. The baseline signal was measured with a buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, and 200 mM NaCl. CD spectra of pH-titrated TaTPI were recorded and averaged over two scans between 200 to 260 nm using J-1500 CD spectrometer (JASCO). The secondary structure contents of TaTPI were calculated by Multivariate SSE Program (JASCO).

Alpha FTIR spectrophotometer. CD data were collected on a JASCO J-1500
CD spectrometer on tistrellabactin A (71 μM) and tistrellabactin
B (52 μM) in Na2HPO4 (pH 8). CD data was
referenced to the buffer and collected with a scan rate of 20 nm/min,
DIT 8 s bandwidth of 1 nm, and data pitch of 0.5 nm. Deionized water

CD experiments were performed on a Jasco J-1500 CD spectrometer using 300 µl cuvettes with 1 mm path length. All measurements were acquired in 20 mM sodium phosphate buffer at pH 8.0 or pH 5.5 at 10 µM protein concentration.

Thermal Stability and Kinetics of Enzyme

Protein was concentrated to 10 μM in 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer. Absorbance was measured at 222 nM using a Jasco J-1500 CD Spectrometer at temperature increments of 2 °C from 22 °C to 60 °C, with 2 min of equilibration per temperature. Absorbance was measured twice per temperature, and this procedure was repeated 3 times on separate days. Proportion of folded protein and Tm were estimated using a 2-state 5-parameter logistic regression curve. Initial reaction rates were measured as reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NADH) coproduct formation (340 nm) for the first 90 s of reaction after enzyme addition at saturating conditions (500 nM NADH, 1 mM NAD, 200 mM alcohol, 50 mM KaPO4 buffer, pH 7.6). Effect of reaction temperature was assessed by incubating the reaction mixture for 1 h at 22 °C, 30 °C, or 37 °C and then adding the enzyme, which had been incubated at 22 °C. Effect of heat treatment on activity was measured by first incubating enzyme at temperatures ranging from 22 °C to 50 °C for 1 h and then adding the enzyme to reaction mixtures that had been incubated at 22 °C; 10 to 15 replicates were assessed for each enzyme−temperature combination. Effects of genotype, temperature, and genotype−temperature interaction on reaction rate were estimated by linear regression (lm() function) in R.

CD measurements were performed on a Jasco J-1500 CD Spectrometer in photometric mode. The measurement range was 200–320 nm, with 2 nm bandwidth and spectra taken at 50 nm/min scanning speed during the OTC titration experiments. The sample holder was thermostated at 25 °C. Buffer solutions without any aptamer or OTC were used for baseline correction. The denaturation measurements were performed without baseline correction. The scanning speed was set at 100 nm/min, the temperature was increased at a rate of 2 °C/min between 4 and 100 °C and spectra were taken at every 2 °C.
For titration, 500 µL of 5 µM aptamer solution was pipetted into a 5 mm quartz cuvette. An aqueous solution of OTC was pipetted into the aptamer solution to obtain concentrations of 2.5, 5, 10, 20 and 40 µM. Before the CD measurement, the solutions were gently shaken and incubated at room temperature for 5 min.
Denaturation experiments were carried out using 1000 µL of 5 µM aptamer solution alone and with 40 µM OTC in a 5 mm quartz cuvette with a PTFE lid. In addition, 100 µL paraffin oil was layered on top of the solution to minimize evaporation.

Lyophilized protein constructs were weighed and dissolved in a 20 mM sodium phosphate, 100 mM NaCl buffer at pH 7.4 to make a 200 μM stock. The stock was diluted into a concentration series to measure the CD spectra. CD spectra were measured using a JASCO J-1500 CD spectrometer with a 1 cm quartz cell for 1 μM and 2 μM protein concentration and 0.1 cm quartz cell for other concentrations (Starna Cells) using a 0.1-nm step size, a bandwidth of 1 nm and a scan speed of 200 nm min−1 between 260 nm and 190 nm. Each spectrum was measured seven times and averaged to increase the signal-to-noise ratio. The buffer control spectrum was subtracted from each protein spectrum. CD spectra were normalized using UV 280 nm absorbance to eliminate the small concentration difference between different protein constructs.

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.
