We purchased HA sodium salt (molecular weight 16 kDa) from Lifecore Biomedical; 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxysuccinimide from TCI Chemicals; 2-(N-morpholino)ethane-sulfonic acid sodium salt, tris(3-hydroxypropyltriazolylmethyl)amine, and sodium ascorbate from Sigma-Aldrich; and 11-azido-3,6,9-trioxaundecan-1-amine, N-hydroxysuccinimide, and copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate from Acros Organics. Alkyne-functionalized peptides bearing an N-terminal 4-pentynoic acid (homopropargyl) modification, hpP79 and aoP79, were obtained from Biomatik. Additionally, alkyne-functionalized peptides bearing an N-terminal alkyne polyethylene glycol group modification, 2.5HIP and a control p79 with two permuted amino acids inactive on BDC2.5 T cells, were purchased from PolyPeptide. All reagents were used as received without further purification.

All chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and cell culture reagents from ThermoFisher Scientific unless stated otherwise. HA-SH synthesis: 400 mg (1 mmol of the disaccharide repeat unit) of HA sodium salt (Lifecore Biomedical, 1.01-1.8 MDa), and 23.8 mg (0.1 mmol) of 3,3'-dithiobis(propanoic dihydrazide) (DTPHY, Frontier Scientific) were dissolved in a 150 mM MES solution with occasional gentle swirling (final pH 4.1). Then 38.4 mg (0.2 mmol) of 1-ethyl-3-(3dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC, Fluka) was dissolved in 1 ml of deionized water and added dropwise with stirring. The stirring was stopped and the reaction was allowed to continue overnight. The pH increased towards ~4.5 during the course of the reaction, with MES buffer preventing it from going higher. Then, 143.33 mg (0.5 mmol) of TCEP-HCl (Fluorochem) was dissolved in 500 µl water and added, the solution was homogenized by swirling, and the reduction was left to proceed overnight in a standing sealed flask. Finally, 1 g (17 mmol) of NaCl was added to the solution, and the mixture was dialyzed against ultrapure water balanced to pH 4.5 with dilute HCl, with 4 water changes over 24h, to yield a solution of pure HA-SH sodium salt.

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.
