All the above peanut seeds were pressed with a cold pressing machine (CA59G, German Monforts Group, Moenchen‐gladbach, North Rhine‐Westphalia, Germany) at a temperature below 60°C. Each oil obtained was centrifuged at 25,230 × g for 15 min (Avanti J‐26 XP, Beckman Coulter Inc., Brea, CA, USA) to remove residue and then kept cold (4 ± 2°C) for future experimental treatments.

Briefly, the harvested medium was collected and subjected to ultracentrifugation [17 (link), 21 ]. Subsequently, the cells, cell debris, and apoptotic bodies were removed by centrifugation at 300×g for 10 min, 2000×g for 15 min, and 5000×g for 15 min, sequentially. The EVs were then pelleted by further centrifugation at 20,000×g (Beckman Coulter Avanti J-26XP, High-Speed Centrifuge and JA-25.50 Fixed-Angle Aluminum Rotor) for 90 min at 4 °C. The resulting precipitant was collected, suspended in 1 ml of PBS, and then centrifuged at 20,000×g for 90 min. The EVs were collected and stored at − 80 °C until further use. The storage period did not exceed 2 weeks.

Example 1

FL-P dispersion preparation: BP crystals were purchased from Smart-Elements and stored in a dark Ar glovebox prior to use. Deionized water with 2% w surfactant was purged with ultrahigh purity grade Ar for at least 1 hr to remove dissolved oxygen. A customized tip ultrasonicator setup was prepared by perforating the plastic lid of a 50 mL conical tube with a 0.125 inch sonicator tip. The interface between the tip and the lid was sealed with PDMS several times to block potential diffusion pathways of ambient O2 and H2O. The deoxygenated water and BP were placed in this sealed conical tube with an initial concentration of 1 mg mL−1 under Ar atmosphere with less than 10% relative humidity. Additionally, Parafilm and Teflon tapes were used to further seal the vessel from ambient exposure. The sealed container was connected to the ultrasonicator (Fisher Scientific model 500 sonic dismembrator) in ambient conditions, and then BP crystals were exfoliated by ultrasonication. The resulting solution was centrifuged at 7,500 r.p.m. for 2 hrs at 15° C. to enrich FL-P nanosheets (Avanti J-26 XP, Beckman Coulter). Following centrifugation, the supernatant was collected and then ultracentrifuged at 14,000 r.p.m. for 2 hrs at 22° C. using a SW32Ti rotor (Optima L-80 XP, Beckman Coulter) before redispersing in deoxygenated water.

Example 2

LPE of InSe. For solvent exfoliation experiments, ethanol and deionized water mixtures were sparged with ultrahigh purity grade Ar for at least 1 hr to remove dissolved oxygen. A customized tip sonicator setup was prepared to minimize ambient exposure, as reported previously. (See, Kang, J. et al. Stable aqueous dispersions of optically and electronically active phosphorene. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 113, 11688-11693 (2016); and Kang, J. et al. Solvent exfoliation of electronic-grade, two-dimensional black phosphorus. ACS Nano 9, 3596-3604 (2015).) The resulting deoxygenated co-solvent mixture and InSe crystals were placed in the sealed tip sonicator vessel with an initial concentration of 1 mg ml−1 under an Ar atmosphere (<10% relative humidity). The container was then connected to a sonicator (Fisher Scientific Model 500 Sonic Dismembrator). The InSe crystals were exfoliated by ultrasonication at ˜30 W for 2 hrs in an ice bath under pulsed conditions (2 sec on and 1 sec off) to avoid solvent evaporation. As-prepared InSe dispersions were then centrifuged to remove unexfoliated InSe crystals (Avanti J-26 XP, Beckman Coulter).

V. cholerae PFK and BsrV enzymes were overproduced in E. coli strain BL21 as 6×His-tagged constructs from a pET28b vector. Overnight cultures of overexpression strains were diluted into 250 mL LB broth and grown until OD600 = 0.5. Flasks were supplemented with 1 mM IPTG and shaking at 37º C for 2 h. Cells were pelleted, and resuspended in equilibration buffer (Tris 50 mM, pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, with protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche)) and disrupted by passaging once through a French press. Lysates were centrifuged for 1 h (25,000 rpm, Beckman Coulter Avanti J26-XP centrifuge, JL-25.50 rotor) at 4°C. Nickel-NTA resin (0.5 ml resuspended in equilibration buffer) was then added to the supernatant, followed by incubation at 4°C in a rotating wheel. The lysate was separated from the resin by centrifugation for 1 minute at 3,220 g and the resin washed (5×10 ml) with washing buffer (equilibration buffer adjusted to 1 M NaCl) and eluted with 2ml of washing buffer containing 500mM imidazole. Fractions were subjected to SDS-PAGE and Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining for purity assessment. Protein concentration was quantified with a Bradford assay.

The semiconducting CNT solution was prepared as previously reported via density gradient ultracentrifugation, with >99% semiconducting purity and refined average diameter of 1.6 nm26 (link)–31 (link). MoS2 dispersion preparation began with 60 mg of MoS2 powder (American Elements, Inc.) and 15 mL ethanol-water co-solvent (10 mL ethanol and 5 mL de-ionized water) being placed in a 50 mL plastic conical tube with a sealed setup32 (link) to avoid solvent evaporation and exfoliated by ultrasonication (Model 500 Sonic Dismembrator, Fisher Scientific) at ~30 W for 1 h in an iced bath. The resulting MoS2 dispersions were then centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 30 min to remove unexfoliated MoS2 powder (Avanti J-26 XP, Beckman Coulter, Inc.) and the supernatant was carefully decanted. CdSeS/ZnS alloyed quantum dots in aqueous solution (COOH functionalized, fluorescence wavelength maximum λem = 575 nm, 6 nm diameter, 1 mg/ml in H2O) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, Inc.

Escherichia coli BW25113 cells were grown aerobically (180 rpm) at 37°C in baffled flasks using LB-medium. The cells were harvested by centrifugation (5700 × g, 10 min, 4°C, Rotor JLA 8.1000, Avanti J-26 XP, Beckman Coulter) in the late exponential phase yielding approximately 6.5 g cells/L. All further steps were carried out at 4°C. After centrifugation, 5 g of the cell pellet were resuspended in fourfold volume of buffer 1 (50 mM MES/NaOH, pH 6.0, 50 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM PMSF supplemented with desoxyribonuclease I) and disrupted by passing twice through a French Pressure Cell Press (110 MPa, SLM-Aminco). Cell debris and non-disrupted cells were removed by centrifugation (9500 × g, 20 min, 4°C, Rotor A8.24, RC-5 Superspeed Refrigerated Centrifuge, Sorvall Instruments). The cytoplasmic membranes were obtained from the supernatant by centrifugation at 252000 × g (60 min, 4°C, Rotor 70.1Ti, L8-M Ultrafuge, Beckman). The sediment was suspended in an equal volume (1:1, w/v) of buffer 1 and was used directly or frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C.

Proteins bearing an N-terminal, TEV-cleavable His6-tag were produced in E. coli Rosetta 2 (DE3) or E. coli BL21 (DE3) RIL cells in auto-inducing ZY medium [58 (link)] for 24 h at 18 °C. The following steps were performed at 4 °C. Cells were resuspended in solubilization buffer (50 mM sodium phosphate, pH 8.0, 500 mM NaCl, 30 mM imidazole, 5 mM β-mercaptoethanol) and lyzed using an EmulsiFlex-C5 cell homogenizer (Avestin). The soluble fraction was separated from the insoluble fraction by centrifugation for 30 min at 55,900 x g in an Avanti J-26 XP centrifuge (Beckman Coulter). Target proteins were captured on Ni2+-NTA resin (GE Healthcare), washed with solubilization buffer and eluted with elution buffer (250 mM imidazole, pH 8.0, 300 mM NaCl, 5 mM β-mercaptoethanol). Tags were cleaved with 1:50 TEV during overnight dialysis against 10 mM sodium phosphate, pH 8.0, 300 mM NaCl, 30 mM imidazole, 5 mM β-mercaptoethanol, and cleaved samples were again passed over Ni2+-NTA resin. The flow-through was collected, concentrated, and subjected to size exclusion chromatography (SEC) in SEC buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 300 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT) using Superdex 75 and Superdex 200 columns (GE Healthcare). Peak fractions were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Fractions containing the target protein were pooled, concentrated, and shock-frozen in liquid nitrogen.

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.
