Kinetics of ligand binding to CYP3A4 was monitored at ambient temperatures in 0.1M phosphate, pH 7.4, in a SX.18MV stopped flow apparatus (Applied Photophysics, UK). After mixing 2 μM CYP3A4 with a 20 μM ligand solution, absorbance changes at 427 nm were measured to follow conversion of the heme iron to the low-spin form. Kinetic data were analyzed using manufacturer’s PROKIN software.

Stopped-flow Kinetic Measurements of Ca2+ Chelation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All kinetic measurements were carried out in stopped-flow buffer (10 mM MOPS, 150 mM KCl, pH 7.0) at 15°C using an Applied Photophysics Ltd. (Leatherhead, UK) model SX.18MV stopped-flow apparatus with a dead time of ~1.4 ms. IAANS fluorescence was excited at 330 nm and monitored using a 420–470 nm band-pass interference filter (Oriel, Stratford, CT). Ca2+ chelator EGTA (10 mM) in stopped-flow buffer was used to remove Ca2+ (200 μM) from the chimera (0.5 μM) also in stopped-flow buffer in the absence or presence of compounds. Varying concentration of each compound were individually added to both stopped-flow reactants. Data traces were fit using a program by P.J. King (Applied Photophysics, Ltd.), that utilizes the non-linear Lavenberg-Marquardt algorithm. Each koff represents an average of at least three separate experiments ± standard error, each averaging at least three shots fit with a single exponential equation.

Anaerobic Kinetic Measurement of Cytochrome b5 Reduction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
3.1 μM soluble cyt b5-b5R and 3.6 μM SCD1 in buffer B were placed in two tonometers; the solutions were then made anaerobic by 5 cycles of alternate 30 s of degassing followed by 4.5 min of gas displacement with argon. The tonometers and a NADH stock prepared in anaerobic buffer were transferred into an anaerobic chamber. Anaerobic kinetic measurements were conducted with a SX-18MV stopped-flow apparatus (Applied Photophysics, Leatherhead, UK) placed inside the anaerobic chamber. Reduction of cyt b5 domain was achieved by addition of 3.1 μM NADH. The time course of A423 in the reaction between reduced cyt b5 domain and SCD1 was monitored. The decay of A423 was fit with a double exponential function: A = A0 + ΔA1*ek1*t + ΔA2*ek2*t, where A and A0 are absorbance and final absorbance, respectively; ΔA1 and ΔA2 are the amplitudes of the two phases; k1 and k2 are the rate constants of the two phases; t is the reaction time.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The association of ribosomal subunits was monitored by light scattering after rapid mixing in an SX.18MV stopped-flow apparatus (Applied Photophysics, Leatherhead, UK), as previously described (33 (link),60 (link),61 (link)). The excitation wavelength was 435 nm (4.65 nm bandpass) and the scattered light was measured at an angle of 90° to the incident beam. Before mixing, the 30S and 50S subunits were incubated at least 30 min at 51°C. Two mixes were prepared as follows. The mix corresponding to Syringe 1 contained 30S ribosomal subunits (50 nM), GTP (250 μM) with or without, depending on the experiment, mRNA (50nM), Met-tRNAiMet (50nM), aIF2-GTP (50nM), aIF1 (50nM) and aIF1A (50nM) (Table 2). Mix corresponding to Syringe 2 contained 50S ribosomal subunits (50 nM), GTP (250 μM) with or without, depending on the experiment, aIF5B or its variants (1 μM). In Table 2, lane 8, GDPNP (250 μM) was used instead of GTP in syringe 2. Association was measured at 51°C after at least 30 min of incubation to complete hydrolysis of GTP bound to aIF2 in Syringe 1 (see Results). The observed association rate constants were estimated by non-linear least-square fitting of the scattered intensity (I) data points to a hyperbolic equation (I = Ifinal – D(1/1 + kobs*t)) as described (62 (link)). The Origin (OriginLab) software was used for fitting (Figure 1B).

Oxygen Complex Formation and Decay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Formation and decay of the oxygen complex were observed using an SX.18MV stopped flow apparatus from Applied Photophysics at 23 °C. Briefly, ferric CYP101D1 in buffer [50 mM potassium phosphate (pH 7.4) and 1 mM D-camphor] was first degassed and purged with nitrogen and then reduced inside a glovebox (anaerobic chamber) by careful titration with a 5 mM sodium dithionite stock (in the same buffer). Stopped flow syringes were washed first with a 5 mM sodium dithionite solution to remove oxygen followed by washing with degassed and nitrogen-purged buffer [50 mM potassium phosphate (pH 7.4) and 1 mM D-camphor] to wash away the dithionite. In the first part of the experiment, reduced ferrous CYP101D1 in 50 mM potassium phosphate (pH 7.4) and 1 mM D-camphor was mixed with the same air-saturated buffer to form the oxy complex. In the second part of the experiment, the reduced ferrous CYP101D1 was mixed with air-saturated buffer that also now contained a 2-fold excess of oxidized Arx to compare the stability of the oxygen complex in the presence Arx. The final concentrations of CYP101D1 and Arx after mixing in the stopped flow were around 5.5 and 11 μM, respectively. Data were fitted using Sigma Plot.

changes induced by addition of H2O2 were measured
using a SX-18MV stopped-flow apparatus equipped with a diode array
detector from Applied Photophysics. The optical quartz cell with a

for mixing was 1 ms, and all measurements were performed at 25 °C.
The ferric protein (2 μM) in 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0)
was mixed with either 2 or 25 μM H2O2 and
measured in triplicate for 10 and 100 ms. Second-order rate constants
(kapp) for the formation of Compound I
were calculated using ProK IV global fitting software assuming a pseudo-first-order
reaction and the model A + B > C.

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.
