Enzymatic Transesterification of Flavonoid Rutin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The analytical reactions were conducted with the commercial flavonoid rutin (Sigma-Aldrich) as substrate. First, 45 mg of the flavonoid, 3.0 mL of vinyl acetate (acyl donor) (Spectrum®) and 1 mL of isopropanol (Tedia) were mixed, and after 5 min 18 mg of the commercial enzyme Novozym 435 (947.20 U/g) (Candida antarctica) was added. The reactions were conducted on an orbital shaker (Solab SL-223) at 60 °C, with stirring at 200 rpm. Aliquots (500 μL) were withdrawn from 24 to 120 h, and then analyzed by different chromatographic techniques. After the optimum conditions were established, the reactions were conducted on a larger scale in order to obtain the products in larger amounts and to perform a purification step. The scaled-up transesterification reaction was performed using the same proportions of reagents and biocatalyst: 300 mg of rutin, 20 mL of vinyl acetate, 6.7 mL of isopropanol, and 120 mg of Novozym 435 [7 (link)].

Total RNA Extraction and RT-qPCR Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total cellular RNA was extracted using TRIzol (Sigma-Aldrich). The cells were pipetted with TRIzol (40 μl/105 cells) until completely lysed, and chloroform (Tedia) was added for stratification by the gradient. After centrifugation (4°C, 12,000 g/min, 15 min), the transparent supernatant was collected. Isopropanol (Tedia) was used to precipitate RNA, and 75% ethanol was for purification. The remaining RNA pellet was resuspended in enzyme-free water, followed by incubation at 55°C for 15 min. The quantification was performed using NanoDrop 2000C (United States). The cDNA was synthesized with PrimeScript RT Master Mix (Takara) using 1 μg RNA. cDNA samples were used for RT-qPCR with SYBR Premix Ex TaqTM (Takara) according to the operation manual. The sequences of primer pairs are listed in Table S2. Relative mRNA expressions were analyzed based on the 2−ΔΔCt method, normalizing to the housekeeping gene GAPDH.

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.
