Steady-state reactions were followed with purified enzymes (KPC-2, OXA-23, OXA-24, PER-2, PDC-3, NDM-1, VIM-2, and IMP-1) using an Agilent diode array spectrophotometer (model 8453) as previously described.31 (link) Assays were performed at 25 °C (room temperature) using either 10 mM PBS, pH 7.4 (KPC-2, PER-2, and PDC-3), 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer supplemented with 20 mM sodium bicarbonate (OXA-23, OXA-24), or 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.2 M NaCl, 50 μg/mL bovine serum albumin, and 50 μM Zn (NDM-1, VIM-2, and IMP-1).
Compound 1 was used as a substrate at excess molar concentrations to establish pseudo-first-order kinetics and imipenem (IMI) was used as a control. The following extinction coefficients were used: 1, Δε336 = −5500 M−1 cm−1; IMI, Δε300 = −9000 M−1 cm−1. For velocity determinations, a 1 cm path length quartz cuvette was employed. A nonlinear least square fit of the data (Henri–Michaelis–Menten equation) using Origin 8.1 (OriginLab, Northampton, MA) was employed to obtain the steady-state kinetic parameters Vmax, kcat, and Km according to eqs 1 and 2 v=(Vmax×[S])/Km+[S])

PerkinElmer 240 elemental analyzer was used for elemental analysis. Infrared spectra (400–4000 cm−1) were recorded using KBr pellets on a Nicolet Magna IR 750 series-II FTIR spectrophotometer. A Bruker 300 MHz NMR spectrometer was used for 1H-NMR recorded in the DMSO-d6 solvent and using tetramethylsilane (δ = 0) as an internal standard. An Agilent diode-array spectrophotometer (model, Agilent 8453) was used for recording UV-Vis spectra, a Hitachi-7000 spectrofluorimeter was used for recording steady-state fluorescence, ESI-MS+ (m/z) of the ligand and Al(iii)-complex were recorded on a Waters' HRMS spectrometer (model: XEVOG2 QTOF). To analyse the morphology of DFP–AMQ in the solid state, FESEM images were taken using an EVO LS10 scanning electron microscope (SEM). For the pH study, a systronics digital pH meter (model 335) was used and 50 mM HCl or NaOH solution was used for the adjustment of pH. The particle size distribution was measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) on a Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS90 instrument. Optical fluorescence microscopy images were taken using a LEICA DM1000 LED upright microscope.

To perform antioxidative properties study of CQDs a standard procedure with DPPH reagent was perfomed. A 25 mg/L solution of DPPH in 95% ethanol was prepared and used for all tests. To achieve a reliable results the prepared solutions of CQDs were dried overnight and weight of CQDs in solutions was determined. Measure of 0.2 mg/mL of all CQDs were prepared in twice-distilled water. To measure antioxidative properties 2 mL of DPPH solution was mixed with 1 mL of each CQDs solution respectively. The mixtures were keep in closed vials in darkness and the absorbance of blank and test solution was measured at 517 nm by using Agilent diode-array spectrophotometer. The antioxidative properties were calculated by comparision of the absorbance of blank and tested solutuions.

The ultraviolet–visible spectra of RAE and resorufin solutions were acquired using a diode array spectrophotometer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) in a quartz cuvette. Other absorbance measurements were recorded in either a 96-well plate using a Modulus II Microplate Multimode reader (Promega, Madison, WI) measuring absorbance at 560 nm or in a clear, round bottom 96-well plates on a Spectra Max M5 spectrometer (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA) under the control of a Windows-based PC running software pro V5. The samples were analysed at λ=580 nm for the resorufin, and at λ=525 nm for RAE.

Camelina/Sophia Protein Hydrolysates Inhibit Copper-Induced LDL Oxidation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The inhibitory activity of camelina/sophia protein hydrolysates against copper-induced LDL cholesterol oxidation was measured according to the reported method [27 (link)]. LDL (5 mg/mL) was dialyzed in 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4, 0.15 M NaCl) using a dialysis tube with a molecular weight cut-off of 12−14 kDa (Fisher Scientific, Nepean, ON, Canada) at 4 °C under a nitrogen blanket in the dark for 12 h. Diluted LDL cholesterol (0.04 mg LDL/mL) was mixed with protein hydrolysate solutions (0.1 mg/mL). The positive control used was carnosine. The reaction was initiated by adding 0.1 mL of 100 μM solution of CuSO4. A blank containing only a sample without LDL or CuSO4 was prepared for each test compound. After incubation of the reaction mixture at 37 ℃ for 12 h, the conjugated dienes formed were recorded at 234 nm using a diode array spectrophotometer (Agilent, Palo Alto, CA, USA). The inhibitory effect of tested samples was expressed as percentage inhibition of conjugated diene formation according to the following equation:





A0, At, and A°0, A°t are absorbance values for test samples and control, respectively, measured at zero time and at time t after incubation.

The inhibitory effect of EGC esters on cupric ion-induced human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) peroxidation was determined according to the method described elsewhere [8 ]. Initially, LDL (5 mg/mL) was dialyzed against 100 volumes of freshly prepared phosphate buffer (10 mM, pH 7.4, 0.15M NaCl). A dialysis tube (MWCO of 12–14 kDa, Fischer, Carle and Kammerer Scientific, Nepean, ON, Canada) was used to dialyze LDL at 4 °C under a nitrogen blanket in the dark for 12 h. Diluted LDL cholesterol (0.04 mg LDL/mL) was mixed with the EGC extracts dissolved in ethanol (5 μg/mL, 10 μL) in an Eppendorf tube. The samples were pre-incubated at 37 °C for 15 min and the reaction was initiated by adding a solution of cupric sulphate (0.1 mL, 100 μM). The samples were then incubated at 37 °C for 22 h. The formation of conjugated dienes (CD) was recorded at 234 nm using a diode array spectrophotometer (Agilent, Palo Alto, CA, USA). The appropriate blanks were run for each sample by replacing LDL cholesterol and CuSO4 and with distilled water for background correction.

The inhibitory activity of human LDL peroxidation induced by cupric ion was evaluated according to the method described by Alshikh et al. (2015) . In order to remove EDTA dissolved in LDL cholesterol, LDL was dialyzed using 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4, 0.15 M NaCl) at 4 °C under a nitrogen blanket in the dark for 12 h. For assessing inhibitory activity against LDL oxidation, 0.8 mL of LDL cholesterol (0.04 mg LDL/mL) was mixed with 0.1 mL of soluble-and insoluble-bound phenolics in hulls and dehulled grains of lentils and subsequently pre-incubated at 37 °C for 15 min. After that, 0.1mL of cupric sulphate (50 μM) was added to the mixture and incubated at 37 °C for 11 h. The conjugated dienes (CD) from the oxidation of LDL cholesterol was read at 234 nm using a diode array spectrophotometer (Agilent, Palo Alto, CA, 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.
