Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The binding affinity of the synthesized compounds to M. smegmatis MshC (Ms-MshC) was evaluated by applying a fluorescence-based thermal shift assay (TSA). A 20 μL reaction system containing 0.2 mg/mL protein, 1× thermal shift dye (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), 50 mM HEPES pH 7.0, 150 mM KCl, 10% (v/v) ethylene glycol and various concentrations of each compound was prepared in 96-well PCR plates (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) on ice. The plates were centrifuged to remove air bubbles and then measured by using the Applied Biosystems real-time PCR system (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) with an excitation filter of 580 ± 10 nm and an emission filter of 623 ± 14 nm. The plates were gradually heated from 4 °C to 95 °C at a rate of 0.05 °C/s. The melting curves were fitted with a Boltzmann model using the Protein Thermal Shift software to calculate the protein melting temperature (Tm). Due to the compounds containing a cysteine group, which is easily oxidized, forming a disulfide, the reducing agent TCEP (1 mM) was added to eliminate the effects of oxidation. The compared results are shown in Table 1. Triplicate assays were applied to controls, and all compounds and the averaged Tm were used.

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.
