Colorimetric Assay for Azoreductase Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Azoreductase activity assays were performed as described previously [6] (link). The activities of AzoA wild type and mutants were analyzed by measuring the reduction of methyl red at 430 nm at room temperature. The reaction mixture was 1956 μl potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.1), 2 μl methyl red (25 μM), 20 μl NADH (0.1 mM), 2 μl FMN (0.5 μM), and 20 μl azoreductase. The amount of azoreductase needed for the reduction of 1 μmol methyl red per minute was defined as one unit of activity. Specific azoreductase activity is defined as units of activity per mg protein. The protein was quantified using the Bicinchoninic acid assay (Pierce) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the standard. SDS-PAGE was carried out using precast gels (12%, Bio-Rad). Prestained protein markers (Bio-Rad) were used and the gel was stained by Coomassie brilliant blue R-250 (Bio-Rad).

Protein Denaturation and Western Blot

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Proteins were denaturated for 30 min at 65 °C and resolved by SDS-PAGE. Afterward, we performed electrotransfer onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Immunocomplexes were detected using an enhanced chemiluminescence detection system (Clarity or Clarity Max, Bio-rad) on Amersham Imager 680 and 800 as 16-bit grayscale TIFF files. The molecular weight of proteins was estimated with pre-stained protein markers (Bio-rad).

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.
