Samples were prepared using crosslinking at stoichiometric conditions, the reactions (±1.2 ml final volume after EDTA quenching) were concentrated to 500 μl and loaded on a pre-equilibrated Superose 6 10/300 increase GL (Cytiva) column in 20 mM HEPES–NaOH pH 7.5, 200 mM NaCl, 1 mM TCEP. Fractions were analyzed on SDS PAGE, the ones containing the complex of interest (Peak1 or Peak2) were pooled and concentrated to about 40 μl (Abs280 close to 0.5). The samples were diluted 10 to 20-fold in 20 mM HEPES–NaOH pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM TCEP right before measuring on a Refeyn OneMP instrument (Refeyn Ltd). For each measurement, 13 μl of this buffer was first placed into the CultureWell gaskets wells (Grace Biolabs) placed into the Microscope coverslips (24 mm × 50 mm; Paul Marienfeld GmbH). After adjusting the focus, 2 μl of sample was mixed in. Movies were recorded for 60 seconds at 100 frames per second. A calibration measurement under the same conditions was performed roughly every 15 measurements using an in-house prepared protein standard mixture: IgG4Δhinge-L368A (73 kDa), IgG1-Campath (149 kDa), apoferritin (479 kDa), and GroEL (800 kDa). Data were processed using DiscoverMP (Refeyn Ltd) with bin width adjusted to 10, and each sample retrieved about 1500–3000 counts. Figures were prepared with the Refeyn instrument and edited in Illustrator.

Mass Distribution Analysis of ASNase

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The mass distributions of ASNase samples were determined using a Refeyn OneMP instrument (Refeyn, Oxford, UK). Measurements followed the standard protocol [27 (link)]. Briefly, the sample chambers were assembled by placing silicon gasket wells on carefully selected and washed 24 × 50 mm coverslips as described in Wu and Piszczek [27 (link)]. Sample wells were partially filled with 10 μL of the standard buffer and filtered through 0.22 μm syringe filter. Enzyme solutions were cleared by centrifugation, concentrations were determined by the absorption at 280 nm and samples were diluted to concentrations of approximately 40 nM. Immediately before data acquisition 10 μL of the enzyme solutions were applied into the buffer-filled sample well and mixed by pipetting, resulting in 1 : 1 final dilution. A one-minute video was recorded using the AcquireMP software (Refeyn) and analysed using the DISCOVER MP software (Refeyn). In parallel to the measurements of enzymes, the mixture of known proteins (unstained protein ladder, LC0725, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Wattham, MA, USA) was measured under identical conditions to assure accurate calibration of molecular weights.

Select nanobodies were binned using MP. Experiments were performed on a Refeyn OneMP instrument (Refeyn Ltd). The instrument was calibrated with a mix of BSA (Sigma-Aldrich), thyroglobulin (Sigma-Aldrich), and beta-amylase (Sigma-Aldrich). Coverslips (Thorlabs) and gaskets (Grace Bio-Labs) were prepared by washing with 100% IPA followed by ddH2O, repeated three times, followed by drying with HEPA filtered air. 12 μl of buffer was added to each well to focus the instrument after which 8 μl of protein solution was added and pipetted up and down to briefly mix after which movies/frame acquisition was promptly started. The final concentration in each experiment of recombinant spike S1 monomer (Sino Biological) and each nanobody was 30 nM and between 25 and 40 nM, respectively. Movies were acquired for 60 s (6000 frames) using AcquireMP (version 2.3.0; Refeyn Ltd) using standard settings. All movies were processed, analyzed, and masses estimated by fitting a Gaussian distribution to the data using DiscoverMP (version 2.3.0; Refeyn Ltd).

Oligomeric State Analysis of Proteins

A Refeyn OneMP instrument (Refeyn Ltd) was used to measure the oligomeric states of the proteins in solution (45 (link)). Ten microliter of gel filtration buffer followed by 1 μl of the protein solution was applied to the drop to a final concentration of 100 nM and 6000 frames were recorded. The calibration curve was obtained by using three protein standards (66, 146, and 480 kDa) (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Detailed description of experimental procedures is provided in Supplementary methods. All bacterial strains and plasmids used in this study are listed in Supplementary Tables 1 and 2. All proteins were expressed, purified and characterized using SUMO-tagging strategy described earlier for E. coli RelA (33 (link)) and B. subtilis Rel (12 (link)) (Supplementary Figure S1A-G). The monomeric nature of 50 nM B. subtilis Rel and 100 nM E. coli RelA was confirmed by mass photometry (34 (link)) using Refeyn OneMP instrument (Refeyn Ltd.) (Supplementary Figure S1H and I).

Mass photometry analysis of C. crescentus DriD

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MP analysis was done using a Refeyn OneMP instrument (Oxford, UK). Contrast-to-mass calibration was achieved by measuring the contrast of proteins in the native marker protein standard mixture (NativeMark Unstained Protein Standard, Thermo Fisher) to generate a standard calibration curve. The experiments were performed using glass coverslips, which were thoroughly washed several times with Milli-Q water and isopropyl alcohol. Silicone gaskets were positioned on the glass surface for sample loading. FL C. crescentus DriD in 50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 300 mM NaCl, 5% glycerol was diluted in the buffer to final concentrations of 20 nM prior to sample analyses. 6000 frame movies were recorded using AcquireMP software and large field-of-view acquisition settings. The MP data was analyzed with DiscoverMP software to produce mass values.

Mass Photometry Analysis of rAAV Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The MP experiments were performed at room temperature using the OneMP instrument (Refeyn, Oxford, UK) following the standard protocol [35 (link)]. The 24×50 mm microscope coverslips (Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) were prepared by cleaning with MilliQ water and isopropanol, and drying under a stream of clean nitrogen, as described previously [36 (link)]. A piece of clean, precut 2×2-well culturewell gasket (GBL103250, Sigma, MO, USA) was attached to the coverslip. The rAAV stocks’ concentrations were measured by the UV absorbance and diluted in PBS to a concentration of about 1011 virus particles per milliliter. This concentration was high enough to provide a high frequency of landing events without producing a large number of landing event overlaps that would degrade the data quality (Supplementary Table S1) [35 (link)]. All samples and stock solutions were carefully re-mixed just before use to assure sample homogeneity. Ten microliters of the filtered PBS buffer were loaded into a well of the culturewell gasket, and, after MP focusing, a 10 μl of rAAV sample was added into the same well. Immediately after the solution was mixed by pipetting, a 2 min video was recorded using the AcquireMP (Refeyn, Oxford, UK) software.

The 24 × 50 mm microscope coverslips (Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and precut 2 × 2 silicon gasket wells (GBL103250, Sigma, MO) were cleaned and assembled as described in the literature.46 (link) Measurements were performed on OneMP instrument (Refeyn, Oxford, UK) at room temperature. PBS (1×, pH 7.2) buffer was filtered through 0.22 μM filters before use. Ten microliters of the buffer were loaded in gasket well to focus the objective on the coverslip surface. Qβ conjugates stock were diluted 100 times in PBS (1×, pH 7.2) buffer and added to buffer in the well. The MP video was immediately recorded after the sample loading using the AcquireMP software (Refeyn, Oxford, UK). A 1 min video was recorded for each sample, and each sample was repeated twice. Data were processed using the DiscoverMP software (Refeyn, Oxford, UK) with the threshold filter values of 5. The mass distribution was plotted as histograms with bin width of 50 kDa and fit with Gaussian peaks to obtain the average mass of different species. The contrast-to-mass calibration was performed using an unstained protein ladder (LC0725, Thermo Fisher, Wattham, MA) and empty AAV5 sample (Virovek, Hayward, CA).

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.
