An equal quantity of protein in 16 μL was loaded per well of pre-cast mini-protean TGX gels 4–20% gels (Biorad), with one gel per timeseries. Electrophoresis was applied according to the manufacturers protocol with a tris–glycine-SDS running buffer (Biorad). Protein transfer onto nitrocellulose membranes (Biorad) was performed using the trans-blot turbo mini kit (Biorad). The membranes were allowed to dry at room temp for 1 h prior to quantifying the total protein using the Li-Cor total protein stain protocol and Odyssey blot-imager (Li-Cor). The membranes were blocked using 5% non-fat milk powder (Marvel) in Tris-buffered saline (TBS) for 1 h at room temperature before incubating overnight at 4 °C with primary antibody (rabbit anti-bmal-1, abcam ab93806) diluted 1:3000 in 2.5% milk in TBS + 0.1% tween-20. After washing, membranes were incubated for 1 h at room temp with secondary antibody, donkey anti-rabbit IRDye 800CW (Licor, 925–32,213) diluted 1:10,000 in TBS + 0.2% tween-20. The membranes were washed extensively before imaging with the Li-Cor Odyssey blot-imager. The 800 nm fluorescence signal from BMAL-1 was quantified using the Image Studio Lite software (Li-Cor Bioscience) and normalised to total protein. Representative Western blot images are presented in Fig. S1 in the supplementary material.

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.
