Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Membrane activity of the designed polypeptides was characterized by monitoring the increase of fluorescence intensity upon leakage of the self-quenched calcein (75 mM) to the surrounding medium of the liposomes. Then, the EggPC liposomes (2.0 mM) were mixed and incubated with polypeptide samples. The fluorescence of the released calcein was measured using a HITACHI F-2500 fluorescence spectrometer at a 488 nm/520 nm excitation/emission wavelengths. The maximum release (100%) was achieved by the addition of Triton X-100 (0.5% final concentration).
For investigating a detailed pH dependence of the rLPE-St anchoring liposomes, 0.1 mL of the calcein (75 mM) contained liposome solution (pH 10.0) was added to a 2.9 mL of 100 mM phosphate buffer at the desired pH (8.5, 8.0, 7.5, 7.4, 7.0, 6.5, 6.0, 5.5, 5.0). The fluorescence of the released calcein was measured using a HITACHI F-2500 fluorescence spectrometer at a 488/520 nm excitation/emission wavelengths. The maximum release (100%) was achieved by the addition of Triton X-100 (0.5% final concentration).
The percentage of calcein leakage was calculated as follows: calcein leakage % = (F -F 0 )/(F t -F 0 ) × 100, in which F and F t represent the fluorescence intensity of calcein before and after the addition of Triton X-100, respectively, and F 0 represents is the initial fluorescence before the addition of lytic polypeptides.

UV/Vis absorption spectra were obtained on Lambda 35 (PerkinElmer Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) spectrometer. TEM (JEOL, Tokyo, Japan) was employed for analysis of morphology of the prepared samples. Powdered XRD (PANalytical, Almelo, the Netherlands) was performed for analyzing surface characterstics of the particles. Zeta potential was measured for size and charge determination using Malvern Zetasizer. FTIR (Perkin Elmer) demonstrated the chemical nature of novel compounds. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) using NIKON C2+ instrument was performed to determine cellular internalization of drugs by cancerous cells.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The YCH was structurally characterized using circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy using a MOS-500 CD spectrometer (Bio-Logic Science Instruments). The YCH solution (0.1 mg/mL) was prepared in deionized water. Parameters were as follows: wavelength range, 190-250 nm; scan speed, 100 nm/min; path length, 1 mm. Ellipticity (θ) was measured in millidegrees (mdeg).
The conformational change of the YCH was assessed by ANS fluorescence spectroscopy. The YCH was dissolved in phosphate buffer (pH 7.0, 10 mM) at a concentration of 1 μg/mL. Then, 20 μL of 8 mM ANS was mixed with 1.5 mL of the YCH solution, and the fluorescence spectrum was recorded using an F-2500 fluorescence spectrometer (Hitachi Ltd.) in a wavelength range from 400 to 700 nm.
The molecular weight distribution of the YCH was further analyzed, as described previously (Sun et al., 2021) (link). In brief, the mobile phase was composed of acetonitrile, water, and trifluoroacetic acid (45/55/0.1, vol/vol/vol). The YCH was dissolved in the mobile phase and filtered through a 0.45-μm filter. Then, the YCH solution was loaded on a TSK gel G2000 SWXL (300 × 7.8 mm internal diameter) column (Tosoh) for separation at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min under a detection wavelength of 220 nm. The standards of cytochrome C, aprotinin, bacitracin, Gly-Gly-Tyr-Arg, and Gly-Gly-Gly were used to prepare a calibration curve of molecular weight.

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.
