Static Light Scattering Analysis of EgA1

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Static light scattering experiments were performed at 25°C using a Superdex 200 10/300 GL column (GE HealthCare) attached in-line to a DAWN-HELEOS light scattering detector and an Optilab rEX differential refractive index detector (Wyatt Technology, Santa Barbara, CA, USA). The column was equilibrated with running buffer (PBS 0.1 μm filtered) and the SEC-MALS system was calibrated with a sample of BSA at 1 g/L in the same buffer. Then 100 μL samples of the EgA1 ATTACK at 0.6 g/L in PBS were injected into the column at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. Data acquisition and analysis were performed using ASTRA software (Wyatt Technology). Based on numerous measurements on BSA samples at 1 g/L under the same or similar conditions we estimate that the experimental error in the molar mass is around 5%.

SEC-MALS measurements for CckARec were performed at a sample loading concentration of 13.8 mg/ml; 6.9 mg/ml and 3.5 mg/ml at 25 C in sample buffer using a GE Healthcare Superdex 200 10/300 Increase column on an Agilent 1260 HPLC. Elution was monitored using an Agilent multi-wavelength absorbance detector (data collected at 280 and 254 nm), a Wyatt Heleos II 8+ multi-angle light scattering detector and a Wyatt Optilab rEX differential refractive index detector. The column was equilibrated overnight in the running buffer to obtain stable baseline signals from the detectors before data collection. Inter-detector delay volumes, band broadening corrections, and light-scattering detector normalization were calibrated using an injection of 2 mg/ml BSA solution (ThermoPierce) and standard protocols in ASTRA 6. Weight-averaged molar mass (Mw), elution concentration, and mass distributions of the samples were calculated using the ASTRA 6 software (Wyatt Technology).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Analytical SEC was performed in buffer M (250 mM NaCl, 20 mM HEPES pH 7.0, 1 mM DTT), or in the appropriate NaCl concentration. Samples were mixed at ∼30 µM and incubated for 15 min in 350 mM NaCl, 20 mM HEPES pH 7.0, 1 mM DTT on ice before being filtered and injected onto a GE Superdex 200 10/300-Increase analytical size exclusion column. When appropriate, samples were mixed with 1.1-fold molar excess RNA. All samples were run at 0.35 mL/min, and peaks were analyzed by SDS-PAGE (Invitrogen). For experiments involving reinjection of fractions over SEC, 500 µL of fractions were spin filtered before reinjecting over SEC.
For SEC-MALS, 165 µg of sample was filtered through a 0.1 µm spin filter (Amicon) before being injected onto a preequilibrated KW-804 column (Shodex). For samples with RNA, stoichiometric amounts of RNA were added prior to spin filtration. Data was acquired with an inline DAWN HELEOS MALS and Optilab rEX differential refractive index detector (Wyatt Technology). All analysis was performed using ASTRA VI software (Wyatt Technology). Data was then exported and plotted with R.

Using reaction buffer containing 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 50 mM KCl and 2 mM DTT, 10 μM Hsp90 dimer of ATP-binding-deficient mutant (Hsp90(D93N))46 (link), 10 μM Hop, 15 μM Hsp70, 4 μM Hsp40 and 20 μM MBP-GRLBD were incubated with 5 mM ATP/MgCl2 for 1 h at room temperature. The complex was purified and analysed by size-exclusion chromatography with multi-angle light scattering (SEC-MALS) with a Wyatt 050S5 column on an Ettan LC (GE Healthcare) in a running buffer containing 50 mM HEPES, 50 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 2 mM DTT, 200 μM ADP and 0.01% octyl β-d-glucopyranoside (β-OG). Molecular weights were determined by multi-angle laser light scattering using an in-line DAWN HELEOS and Optilab rEX differential refractive index detector (Wyatt Technology Corporation). Once eluted, fractions containing the GR-loading complex were immediately cross-linked with 0.02% glutaraldehyde for 20 min at room temperature and quenched with 20 mM Tris pH 7.5. Fractions containing the GR-loading complex were separately snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored in aliquots at −80 °C.

SEC-MALS Analysis of Antibody Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Static light scattering experiments were performed at room temperature using a Superdex 200 Increase 10/300 GL column (GE Healthcare) attached in-line to a DAWN-HELEOS light scattering detector and an Optilab rEX differential refractive index detector (Wyatt Technology). The column has an exclusion volume of 8.6 ml, and no absorbance (no aggregated protein) was observed in any of the injections. The column was equilibrated with running buffer (PBS+150 Mm NaCl) and the SEC-MALS system was calibrated with a sample of bovine serum albumin (BSA) at 1 g/l in the same buffer. Then 100 μl samples of the two antibodies 1D8N18 and 1D8N/CEGa1 at 1 g/l in the running buffer were injected into the column at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min. Data acquisition and analysis were performed using the ASTRA software (Wyatt Technology). The reported molar mass corresponds to the center of the chromatography peaks. After separation of the monomeric species by SEC a second injection in the SEC-MALS system was done at 0.26 g/l. Based on numerous measurements on BSA samples at 1 g/l under the same or similar conditions, we estimate that the experimental error in the molar mass is around 5%.

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.
