SMA:AcrB and A8–35 exchanged (A8–35_Ex) samples were dialysed into 300 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 (SECB) prior to SEC-MALLS experimentation. DDM exchanged (DDM_Ex) samples were dialysed into SECB plus 10% glycerol and 0.025% DDM (DDM-SECB) to decrease the DDM concentration. For the protein-free lipid particles, 5 mg of E. coli total lipid extracts (Avanti Polar Lipids Inc., U.S.A.) were suspended by sonication in SECB, and split into two for the addition of 2.5% SMA and 2.5% A8–35. SEC-MALLS experiments were performed using a Superose 6 5/150 column pre-equilibrated with SECB for SMA:AcrB and A8–35_Ex samples, and DDM-SECB without glycerol for DDM-containing samples. The data were collected on a DAWN 8+ multi-angle light scattering (LS) detector, an Optilab T-rEX differential refractive index (dRI) detector and UV-absorbance (UV) detector (Wyatt Technology), and samples were run at a flow rate of 0.2 ml/min. Astra 6.2 software was implemented for molar mass calculations. The absorbance value at 0.1% OD280nm for full-length AcrB(His)8 was given as 0.79 g/l and a refractive index increment (dn/dc) value of 0.185 ml/g was applied to the protein component - AcrB. A8–35 and DDM dn/dc modifiers were set at 0.15 and 0.143, respectively, for the surfactant components.

Asymmetric Flow Field-Flow Fractionation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An Eclipse DualTec AF 4 system (Wyatt Technology, Santa Barbara, CA) was coupled inline to a UV/Vis diode array detector (Model 1260, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA), a HELEOS-II multiangle laser light photometer, and an Optilab T-Rex differential refractive index detector (Wyatt Technology). The AF 4 channel was a vendor-supplied "short" channel with 350 mm thick "wide" (Mylar) spacer; an Ultracel 10 kDa regenerated cellulose (Millipore, Burlington, MA) ultrafiltration membrane served as the accumulation wall. Samples were introduced into the AF 4 separation channel via an Agilent 1260 autosampler (Santa Clara, CA) with a focus position of 12% of the channel length. The focusing was accomplished by flowing 0.2 mL/min of buffer into the channel inlet and 1.3 mL/min of buffer through the channel outlet for 5 min. After the samples were introduced and focused against the ultrafiltration membrane, they were eluted from the column in a size selective manner with a channel flow of 1.0 mL/min while the cross flow was linearly ramped from 3.0 mL/min to 0 mL/min over 45 min. Post separation the channel was rinsed for 5 min with 1.0 mL/min channel flow and 0 mL/min crossflow and the injector "on" to rinse out the sample loop.

The molar mass
analysis was done by means of multiangle light scattering
(MALS) in accordance with Zinovyev et al.42 (link) In brief, 10 mg of lignin was dissolved in 1 mL of DMSO/LiBr (0.5%
w/v). After complete dissolution, the sample was filtered through
a 0.45 μm PTFE syringe filter. The SEC analysis was performed
on an Ultimate 3000 system, consisting of autosampler column oven

Series P580 (Dionex Softron GmbH, Germering, Germany), HELEOS I MALS
detector operating at 785 nm, and an Optilab T-rEX differential refractive
index detector, λ = 633 nm (all Wyatt Technology, Santa Barbara,
U.S.A.) under the following conditions: 35 °C column temperature,
10 μL injection volume, 0.5 mL min–1 flow
rate, and 65 min run time. For the separation, three Agilent PolarGel
M columns (7.5 × 300 mm with 5 μm particle size) and a
precolumn (7.5 × 50 mm) were used. The data was processed with
Astra 7.3.

An AF2000 system (Postnova Analytics Inc., Salt Lake City, UT) was used for the analytical scale AF4 separations. The AF4 system was coupled to a SPD-20A UV/Vis detector (Shimadzu, Japan), a HELEOS II multi-angle light scattering (MALS) with a dynamic light scattering (DLS) detector (Wyatt Technology Corporation, Santa Barbara, CA), and an Optilab T-rEX differential refractive index detector (Wyatt Technology Corporation, Santa Barbara, CA). The AF4 spacer had a nominal thickness of 350 μm, maximum breadth of 2 cm and a minimum breadth of 0.45 cm with a tip to outlet length of 29.3 cm. The semi-permeable accumulation wall is formed using a 30 kDa molecular weight cutoff regenerated cellulose membrane (Microdyn-Nadir, Wiesbaden, Germany). The focusing time was 5 minutes, the inj was 0.2 mL/min, the sample injection volume of 20 μL, and the out was 0.5 mLmin. The c was programmed using the flow rates provided in Fig. S1 (see Electronic Supplementary Material (ESM)).

We injected 100 μl samples of Gcf1p, Gcf1p/DNA20, Gcf1p/DNA50 or Gcf1p_CC/DNA50 (Supplementary Table S3) at a protein concentration of 2 mg/ml onto a Superdex 200 10/300 column (Cytiva). Complexes were prepared at protein:DNA ratios of 1:1.2 (Gcf1p/DNA20) and 2:1.2 (Gcf1p/DNA50 and Gcf1p_CC/DNA50). Column equilibration and running buffer for isolated Gcf1p was 750 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris–HCl pH 8.0, and 20 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris–HCl pH 8.0 for the complexes. For both cases the flow rate was 0.5 ml/min at RT. The column was coupled to a MALLS system including a DAWN-HELEOS-II detector (Wyatt Technology) with a laser emission wavelength of 664.3 nm. Peak concentrations were measured with an Optilab T-rEX differential refractive index detector (Wyatt Technology) assuming a dn/dC of 0.185 ml/g. Molecular weights (MWs) and complex ratios were determined using conjugate calculations in ASTRA 6.0.5.3 (Wyatt Technology). We also measured absorbance at 280nm. Experiments were carried out at the Automated Crystallography Platform at the Barcelona Science Park.

HPMA (103.6
mg, 0.72 mmol), MA-SS-AMD (6) (347 mg, 0.36 mmol), AIBN
(11.3 mg), and DMF (2 mL) were added into a 5 mL ampule. After bubbling
with nitrogen for 30 min, the ampule was sealed and the mixture was
heated at 50 °C for 24 h. The polymer was precipitated into cold
diethyl ether, centrifuged, and dried in air for 4 h. The dried polymers
were mixed with trifluoroacetic acid (10 mL) and stirred at room temperature
for 3 h. After trifluoroacetic acid was removed under reduced pressure,
the remaining polymer solution was precipitated by dropwise addition
into cold diethyl ether. The polymer was isolated by filtration, dried
in vacuum, and then dissolved in water and dialyzed against 1 M HCl
followed by final lyophilization. The molecular weights and molecular
weight distribution of the polymers were determined by size-exclusion
chromatography (TSK-GEL PWXL column, Toshoh Bioscience)
equipped with a miniDAWN TREOS multi-angle static light scattering
detector (Wyatt) and Optilab T-rEX differential refractive index detector
(Wyatt) using 0.5 M sodium acetate buffer (pH 5) as the mobile phase.

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.
