IR spectra were obtained as solid or neat liquid on a Fourier Transform Bruker Vector 22 spectrometer. Only significant absorptions are listed. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded with Bruker Avance 300 (300 and 75 MHz, for 1H and 13C, respectively) or Bruker Avance 400 (400 and 100 MHz for 1H and 13C, respectively) spectrometers. Mass spectra were recorded with a Bruker Esquire-LC instrument. Elemental analyses were performed by the Microanalysis Service in ICSN–CNRS, Gif-Sur-Yvette — France. Analytical thin-layer chromatography was performed with Merck silica gel 60 F254 glass precoated plates (0.25 mm layer) and Merck aluminum oxide 60F254 neutral sheets. Column chromatography was performed with Merck silica gel 60 (230–400 mesh ASTM) and Fluka aluminum oxide type 507C neutral. All reactions involving air- or water-sensitive compounds were routinely conducted in oven- or flame-dried glassware under a positive pressure of nitrogen. Except as otherwise indicated, all reactions were carried out in distilled solvents. Triethylamine was distilled over calcium hydride. Chemicals obtained from commercial suppliers were used without further purification.

Flash column chromatography (FCC) was performed using silica gel 200–300 mesh from Acros Organics occasionally on a Büchi Sepacore system equipped with a UV monitor. For thin layer chromatography (TLC), silica gel plates Merck 60 F254 were used. Spots detected on the TLC plates under the UV lamp at 254 or 365 nm were visualized by spraying Dragendorff’s reagent. The EI-MS were recorded on a Finnigan MAT-95 mass spectrometer (70 eV) and the ESI-MS on an Bruker Esquire LC with an ion trap detector. Positive and negative ions were detected. ESI-HRMS were recorded on a Waters Xevo G2-XS QTOF mass spectrometer. The 1D and 2D NMR spectra (600 MHz 1H NMR and 150 MHz 13C NMR) were measured on a Bruker AVANCE III 600 MHz spectrometer using CDCl3 or CD3OD as solvents. The chemical shifts δ are reported in ppm using either CHCl3/CDCl3 (δH = 7.25, δC = 77.0) or CH3OH/CD3OD (δH = 3.31, δC = 49.0 ppm) as internal standard relative to TMS. Coupling constants J are given in Hz. The complete assignment of 1H and 13C NMR signals was confirmed by 2D NMR spectroscopic methods (COSY, HSQC, HMBC and NOESY).

Mass Spectrometric Analysis of HDX Peptides

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mass spectral analyses of the HPLC separated samples from the HNSB labeling experiments were acquired on a Bruker Amazon ETD (Billerica, MA) quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer or a Bruker Esquire-LC (Billerica, MA) quadrupole ion trap, both equipped with electrospray ionization sources. The electrospray source conditions, including the voltage and temperature, were chosen to optimize the peptide or protein signal. Tandem mass spectra of peptides were acquired using collision-induced dissociation (CID) with isolation widths of 1.0 Da and excitation voltages between 0.6 and 1.0 V.
Mass spectra of the HDX peptides were obtained with a Waters Synapt G2-si (Waters, Milford, MA) equipped with standard ESI source. The instrument configuration was the following: capillary voltage = 3.0 kV, sampling cone = 40 V, source temperature = 70 °C, and desolvation temperature = 20 °C. Mass spectra were acquired over a m/z range of 100–2000. Identification of the peptic fragments peptides was accomplished through a combination of mass spectral analyses and MSE using the ProteinLynx Global SERVER (Waters Corporation). MSE was performed via a series of low to high collision energies ranging from 5 to 30 V, which helped ensured adequate dissociation of all the eluted peptides.

Quantification of 5-OH Coniferyl Alcohol Glycoside

Soluble phenolics were extracted twice from 30.0 ± 0.05 mg of the lyophilized above‐ground stem samples with 1.0 mL 50% methanol plus 1.5% acetic acid for 3 h at room temperature each time (Fu et al., 2011b). Identification and quantification of 5‐OH coniferyl alcohol glycoside was performed by LC‐PDA/ESI‐MS/MS according to a previously described method (Fu et al., 2011b). All the mass spectra were acquired using a Bruker Esquire LC equipped with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source. Mass spectra from positive‐ and negative‐ion ESI were recorded over the range of 50–2200 m/z. To confirm the aglycone structure of the deduced compound, the vacuum‐dried methanolic extracts of switchgrass internodes were resolved with 3 mL of 5 mg/mL β‐glucosidase in citric acid buffer (pH = 5.5) and the reaction was incubated at 37 °C overnight (Tian and Dixon, 2006). The β‐glucosidase hydrolysis products were vacuum‐dried, re‐dissolved in 1.0 mL 80% methanol and were identified by comparing their retention time, and UV‐visible and mass spectra with the corresponding standard compounds. The reference standard of 5‐OH coniferyl alcohol was synthesized by the Chemistry Research Solution LLC (PA, USA).

Metastable Atom Dissociation Mass Spectrometry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All experiments were performed on a modified Esquire-LC or amaZon QIT mass spectrometer (Bruker Daltronics, Bremen, Germany), the former of which has been described in a previous work.[41 (link)] Metastable atoms were generated with an Ion Tech FAB gun (P50, PSU, Teddington UK) and deflection electrodes were used to remove electrons and ions from the beam. The FAB gun was pulsed using custom electronics (described previously) to coincide with the fragmentation period in the scan function normally reserved for CID. The CID amplitude was set to 0 V during MAD so the ions are effectively just stored at a specified qz while the metastable atom source is pulsed on for ~300 ms. A visual schematic and description of the connections used in this process have been provided elsewhere [41 (link)].

Infrared (IR) spectra were obtained as solid or neat liquid on a Fourier Transform Bruker Vector 22 spectrometer. Only significant absorptions are listed. Optical rotations were measured on a Perkin-Elmer 241 Polarimeter at 589 nm. The 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were recorded on Bruker Avance 300 (300 MHz and 75 MHz for 1H and 13C, respectively) or Bruker Avance 400 (400 MHz and 100 MHz for 1H and 13C, respectively) spectrometers. Recognition of methyl, methylene, methine, and quaternary carbon nuclei in 13C NMR spectra rests on the J-modulated spin-echo sequence. Mass spectra were recorded on a Bruker Esquire-LC. High-resolution mass spectra were recorded on a electrospray ionization time-of-flight (ESI/TOF) (LCT, Waters, Milford, MA, USA) LC-spectrometer. Analytical thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was performed on Merck silica gel 60F254 glass precoated plates (0.25 mm layer). Column chromatography was performed on Merck silica gel 60 (230–400 mesh ASTM). Toluene, pyridine, dimethylformamide (DMF), and CH2Cl2 were distilled from calcium hydride, under a nitrogen atmosphere. All reactions involving air- or water-sensitive compounds were routinely conducted in glassware, which was flame-dried under a positive pressure of nitrogen.

Quadrupole Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mass analysis was performed using either a Bruker Esquire-LC or a Bruker AmaZon (Billerica,MA) quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer. These instruments are equipped with electrospray ionization sources, and the needle voltage was typically set to 3000 V. The capillary temperature was set to 300°C. Both CID and ETD were used to obtain tandem mass spectra. The ion isolation width for both methods was set to 1.0 Da. CID voltages were typically between 0.65 and 1.1 V and were chosen to achieve optimal dissociation efficiency. For ETD experiments, the low m/z cutoff was typically set to 135, and the reaction time was typically set to 150 ms.

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.
