Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Xylanase genes were cloned using PCR with synthesized cDNA as the template and primers listed in Additional file 1: Table S2. PCR products were purified and cloned into a pLYJ-163 vector (xynA, xynB, xynC, xynD) and pEASY-Blunt E1 vector (xynE) to construct recombinant plasmids, which were transformed into E. coli DH5α cells and confirmed by DNA sequencing (TSINGKE, Qingdao, China). The correct recombinant plasmids were transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) for protein expression. When the absorbance at 600 nm (OD600) reached 0.6–0.8, strains were induced using 0.5 mM isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG, Solarbio, Beijing, China) for 20 h at 16 °C. Cells were centrifuged and resuspended in buffer (50 mM NaH2PO4, 300 mM NaCl, pH 8.0). After ultrasonic fragmentation, xylanases were purified using HisCap Co 6FF resin (Smart-life Sciences, Changzhou, China). The eluent was replaced with optimal buffer (50 mM Na2HPO4, 20 mM citrate, pH 5.0) by ultrafiltration (3 kDa membrane, Millipore, Billerica, MA) at 4 °C. Pure enzymes were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Protein concentrations were determined using the Bradford method [44 (link)].

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.
