Ten volumes (µl/mg) of buffered 75% ethanol and 25% HEPES (10 mM, pH 7.1) were used to extract 20 mg of kidney tissues. Extracts were diluted 1:20 in distilled water for a total minimum volume of 50 µl per dilution to reach a concentration within the standard curve. Afterward, 25 µl of NAD samples were loaded in a 96-well microtiter-plate in duplicate. Ten µl/well of reaction buffer (600 mM ethanol, 0.5 mM 3-(4.5dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2.5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide [MTT]), 2 mM phenazine ethosulfate (PES), 120 mM bicine (pH 7.8) was added.

Pyruvate Decarboxylase Activity Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pyruvate decarboxylase activity was measured using a coupled assay with yeast alcohol dehydrogenase [26 (link)]. The reaction mix contained: 50 mM pH 7.0 Tris–HCl buffer (The pH was adjusted at 25 °C), 2 mM MgCl2, 0.2 mM thiamine pyrophosphate, 0.3 mM NADH, 10 mM pyruvate and 1 U/mL of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase from Sigma (A3263). Pyruvate was used to start the reaction and the consumption of NADH was followed spectrophotometrically at 340 nm (molar extinction coefficient ε of NADH = 6.22 mM−1 cm−1). The protein concentration was determined using the Bradford protein reagent with bovine serum albumin as the standard (BioRad, Hercules, CA).
For the thermostability assay, the Pdc protein was mixed with the reaction mix without NADH and Adh and then incubated at various temperatures for 30 min. The pH of reaction mix was set to 7.0 at 25 °C. Then the incubated mix was chilled on ice for 15 min before the assay. Both NADH and Adh protein could be used to start the reaction. In cases where Adh protein was used to start the reaction, the rate of the reaction was determined after the reaction had reached steady state (i.e. the brief, transient initial rate was ignored).

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.
