Nickel nitrilotriacetic acid

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

Nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) is a metal-chelating compound used in affinity chromatography for the purification of recombinant proteins containing a histidine (His) tag. It binds to the His-tag with high specificity, allowing the target protein to be isolated from complex mixtures.

Production and Purification of SARS-CoV-2 RBD

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor binding domain protein (RBD) was produced by transient transfection of HEK-293F cells with plasmid pCAGGS (32 (link), 33 (link)), containing the SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan-Hu-1 spike glycoprotein gene RBD with C-terminal hexahistidine tag (generously provided by F. Krammer). Transfection was carried utilizing the Expi293 expression system (Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific) following the manufacturer’s instructions. RBD was purified by affinity chromatography utilizing nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) agarose (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and RBD purity was assessed by SDS-PAGE.

Synthesis and Purification of Azide-Tagged IFN-γ

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We synthesized azide-tagged IFN-γ (azIFN-γ) as previously reported,9 (link) with no deviations. Briefly, azIFN-7 was inserted into a pET28a vector (GenScript), while N-myristoyltransferase was inserted into a pET11c vector (generously provided by Dr. Edward Tate, Imperial College London24 ). We co-expressed both proteins in BL21 (DE3) E. coli, using 12-azidododecanoic acid (synthesized as in9 (link)) as the azide tag, isolated the protein under denaturing conditions via nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Thermo Scientific), refolded it, and performed the final purification using fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC, GE AKTApurifier 10 with Frac-950 collector - buffers in,9 (link) procedure in25 (link)). We determined concentration for all experiments using the bicinchoninic acid (Micro BCA, Thermo Scientific) assay.

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.
