Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NBBS was obtained from Ivy Fine Chemicals (CAS RN 3622–84-2; Lot IF10505; Cherry Hill, NJ). Identity of NBBS was confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR and mass spectrometry (MS) and the purity (>99.9%) was determined by gas chromatography-with flame ionization detection. [14C]-labeled NBBS ([14C]NBBS) (uniformly ring labelled, 12.1 mCi, 0.19 mCi/mg in ethanol) was obtained from MRIGlobal (Kansas City, MO) and was stored at −20 °C. The radiochemical purity was determined to be >96% by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods 1 or 2 given below. A radiochemical purity of >94% was maintained throughout the studies by purifying the material using a 3-cc Oasis® HLB solid phase extraction cartridge (Waters, Milford, MA).
Ultima Gold™ liquid scintillation cocktail and Soluene®−350 were purchased from PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences (Waltham, MA). Potential NBBS metabolites, benzenesulfonamide and 4-hydroxybenzenesulfonamide, β-Glucuronidase (from E. coli), sulfatase (from Aerobacter aerogenes), acylase (Type I, porcine kidney) were from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Rapid Equilibrium Dialysis (RED) devices were from Thermo Scientific (Waltham, MA). All other reagents were obtained from commercial sources.

Carbonic Anhydrase I Binding Kinetics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human carbonic anhydrase I was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO), filtered using a 10K spin filter (EMD Millipore), buffer exchanged into 200 µM ammonium acetate to reduce residual sodium contamination, and brought to a final concentration of 10 µM. Benzenesulfonamide, ethoxzolamide, acetazolamide, and 4-carboxyBenzenesulfonamide were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis MO) and mixed with the carbonic anhydrase in multiple ratios to determine the binding efficiency of each. Each mixture was analyzed with a home-built ion mobility spectrometry (IMS)/MS instrument and data were collected from m/z 200 to 14 000. To calculate the KD of the protein/ligand complexes studied, the following equation was utilized, where I(P·L) is the intensity of the protein/ligand complex, I(P) is the intensity of the protein alone, [P]0 is the initial protein concentration, and [L]0 is the initial ligand concentration.20 I(P·L)I(P)=12(1[P]0[L]0KD+4[L]0KD+([L]0[P]0KD1)2)

The nematic LC 4-cyano-4’-pentylbiphenyl (5CB), manufactured by BDH, was purchased from EM Industries (Hawthorne, NY). Phosphate buffer saline (PBS), bovine serum albumin (BSA), lysozyme from chicken egg white, carbonic anhydrase II, 6-ethoxy-2-benzothiazolesulfonamide (ethox), and benzenesulfonamide were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Milwaukee, WI). Dimethyloctadecyl-[3-(trimethoxylsilyl)propyl]-ammonium chloride (DMOAP) was obtained from Acros Organics. Glass microscope slides were Fisher’s Finest Premium Grade obtained from Fisher (Pittsburgh, PA). Gold-coated transmission electron microscopy (TEM) grids (18 μm in thickness, 280 μm in grid spacing and 60 μm bar width) were obtained from Electron Microscopy Sciences (Fort Washington, PA). The synthetic procedures used to prepare the oligomers used in our study (H-monomer, H-dimer, H-trimer, CH3-monomer, CH3-dimer, and CH3-trimer, Figure 1) are provided in the Supporting Information (See Scheme S1 to S4).

Carbonic Anhydrase II from bovine erythrocytes (bCA-II, cat# C2522) and bCA-II inhibitors acetazolamide, furosemide, sulfanilamide, and benzenesulfonamide were purchased from Sigma Aldrich. His9-tagged glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) was obtained from Crelux GmbH (Martinsried, Germany). GLUT1 inhibitor BAY-876 was purchased from Sigma Aldrich. Anti-Tau antibody Tau5 was purchased from Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific.
Tau isoforms 2N4R and 0N3R and shorter fragments tau221–441 and tau343–441 were expressed and purified according to previously published procedure.29 (link) Briefly, a two-step cation exchange chromatography was used, followed by a size exclusion step, and desalting into phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) supplemented with argon. The concentration of tau proteins was determined from the absorbance at 205 nm, with absorption coefficients calculated from the protein sequence.30 (link)Chemically synthesized DNA oligonucleotides were obtained from Metabion GmbH (Planegg, Germany). A Cy5-labeled 13-mer including a short poly-T spacer in front of a 10 base-long recognition sequence (sequence 5′ Cy5 TTT GGA CTT CAG G 3′) was designed as target and a complementary 10-mer (sequence 3′ CCT GAA GTC C 5′) as ligand. All other chemicals and reagents used in this study were of the highest available analytic grade.

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.
