In-gel digestion was performed according to Applied Biosystems' instructions. The Coomassie blue-stained bands were cut out and washed with 50% acetonitrile/25 mM ammonium bicarbonate (pH 8.0) solution three times. Gels were dehydrated by soaking in 100% acetonitrile and dried in a vacuum centrifuge. The gel pieces were then incubated in 20 μL of digestion buffer containing 25 mM ammonium bicarbonate (pH 8.0) and 10 μg/mL of trypsin (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) in an ice-cold bath. After 30 minutes, the supernatant was removed and replaced with 10 μL of 25 mM ammonium bicarbonate buffer. Thereafter, the gel was incubated at 37℃ for 16 hours. Peptides were extracted twice with 30 μL of 50% acetonitrile/5% TFA solution for 60 minutes and dried in a vacuum centrifuge. Three microliters of the matrix (α-cyano–4 hydroxycinnamic acid) dissolved in 100% acetonitrile/0.1% TFA solution was mixed with the extracted peptides. Then, the peptide mixture (1 μL) was deposited on a MALDI plate and dried at room temperature. The peptide spectra were detected with MALDI-TOF Voyager DE-STR (Applied Biosystems, Framingham, CA, USA). The general procedure related to MALDI-TOF was carried out according to Applied Biosystems' instructions, and the peptide peaks were analyzed by searching the ProteinProspector MS-FIT database.

All chemicals were purchased from commercial sources and used without further purification. 1H NMR spectra were recorded at 298 K on a 500 MHz JEOL JNM–ECZ 500R/S1 spectrometer. 1H NMR data are reported as follows: s: singlet, d: doublet, t: triplet, m: multiplet. Chemical shifts in the 1H NMR spectra are reported in parts per million (ppm) compared to a tetramethylsilane (0 ppm) standard. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) was conducted on a MALDI TOF Voyager DE-STR (Applied Biosystems, USA) mass spectrometer. Thin layer chromatography was performed using silica gel 60 F254 plates. Ultraviolet–visible (UV-vis) absorption spectra were measured with a UV-vis spectrophotometer (Jasco V-670). Fluorescence emission spectra were collected using a Hitachi F-7000 fluorescence spectrophotometer with excitation and emission slit widths of 5 nm. Column chromatography was performed using Merck silica gel (230–400 mesh).

Characterization of Lf-GL Conjugate

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy measurements (FT-IR, NICOLET IS50, Thermo Fisher Scientific) were conducted to identify the functional group of Lf-GL. The molecular weight of Lf-GL was determined by SDS-PAGE (12%-gel) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI TOF). MALDI-TOF was conducted at Seoul National University (Korea) using a MALDI-TOF Voyager DE-STR (Applied Biosystems, MA, USA). A sinapinic acid (Sigma-Aldrich) aqueous solution containing about 30% acetonitrile in 0.15% trifluoroacetic acid (Millipore) was used as a matrix. High performance liquid chromatography (Alliance HPLC e2695, Waters, MA, UK) using a gel permeation chromatography (GPC) column was performed to verify GL content in the Lf-GL conjugate. The mobile phase was composed of methanol, acetonitrile, water, and acetic acid in a ratio of 55:23.69:19.63:0.68. GL was dissolved in the mobile phase in different concentrations (2.5 to 200 × 10–6 M), and Lf-GL (25 × 10–6 M) was also dissolved in the mobile phase. Ultrahydrogel 120 Column (Waters) was used as a column, and the flow rate was 1 mL min−1. Then, absorbance was measured at 254 nm, and the results were calibrated with Empower software (Waters).

Zeta-Potential Characterization of Polyaniline

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For zeta-potential measurements, the pH of the polyaniline or aniline tetramer solution was tuned by adding NaOH. Values of pH were determined using a pH meter (HANNA, HI9318, Woonsocket, RI, USA). The DTS cell was placed in a Malvern Zetasizer (Nano ZS 3600, Worcestershire, UK) for measuring the zeta potential.
Mass spectra for devices were collected by carefully scraping materials off current collectors. The analyte was dissolved in a mixture of ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide (1:1) solution. A matrix solution was prepared which contained 10 mg of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) dissolved in 50 μL of acetonitrile and 50 μL of 10% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in water. Equal volumes of each solution were pipetted, mixed and dried on the MALDI TOF plate. Spectra shown in Figure 3 were acquired with an Applied Biosystems Voyager-De-STR MALDI TOF. Subsequent spectra were acquired with a Bruker UltraFlex MALDI TOF (Bruker Daltonics Inc., Billerica, MA, US). The UV–vis spectra were taken on a Shimadzu UV-3101 PC UV–vis-NIR Scanning Spectrophotometer with quartz cuvettes. The Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were taken on an FEI Nova 230 (FEI, Hillsboro, OR, USA).

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.
