Thin-layer chromatography was carried out using pre-coated silica Q-gel 60 F254 plates (0.25 mm, Merck). Column chromatography (CC) was conducted using silica gel (Kieselgel 60, 230–400 mesh, Merck), and Sephadex LH-20 (18–111 µm, GE Healthcare AB, Stockholm, Sweden). HPLC was performed using the Varian Prostar 210 system. A YMC-Pack ODS-A column (5 μm, 250 × 20 mm i.d., YMC, Kyoto, Japan) was used for preparative HPLC analysis with an 8 mL/min flow rate. ESI-MS was performed on an LCQ Fleet Ion Trap mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific, Madison, WI, USA). NMR spectral data were acquired by using a Varian 500-MHz NMR spectrometer (Inova 500 Spectrometer, Varian, Palo Alto, CA, USA). Tetramethylsilane was used as an internal standard, and chemical shifts data were expressed as δ value.

The end hydroxyl
group from synthesized acPEO was used to initiate the synthesis of
the acPEO-block-ε-caprolactone, acPEO-b-PCL, and acPEO-block-(α-benzyl
carboxylate-ε-caprolactone), acPEO-b-PBCL,
which was carried out by bulk ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone
or BCL, respectively.33 (link) For peptide conjugation,
micelles were prepared, by cosolvent evaporation, at a block copolymer
concentration of 5 mg/mL. The pH was then adjusted to 2.0 using HCl
(0.5 M solution). Micelles were then incubated at room temperature
under stirring. After 2 h, the pH was readjusted to 7.4 with NaOH,
followed by buffering of the micellar solution using PBS (10×,
pH 7.4). An aqueous peptide solution in 1% DMSO was prepared and added,
under constant stirring, at a peptide:polymer ratio (mol/mol) of 1:3.
After 2 h reaction, NaBH3CN was added, and the reaction
was left for 24 h at room temperature under constant stirring. The
resulting micellar solution was extensively dialyzed against distilled
water and lyophilized. The molar conjugation percent of GE11 peptide
into the copolymers was determined by reverse-phase HPLC measuring
unreacted peptide concentration (Varian Prostar 210 system, Microsorb-MV
5 μm C18 100 Å column, a gradient of 0.1% trifluoroacetic
acid/acetonitrile).35 (link)

Carotenoid Extraction and Analysis in E. coli

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Carotenoids produced by E. coli cells or extracted from protein were analyzed with the help of a Nucleosil C18 4.6*250 column run at 1 mL min−1 and column oven temperature set to 28 °C. For extraction, 100 μL of a protein sample or an aliquot of cell precipitate were mixed with 100 μL acetone and 100 μL hexane, then vortexed and centrifuged until phase separation was observed. The carotenoid-containing upper hexane fraction was dried under the gaseous nitrogen stream, redissolved in 25 μL acetone, and injected onto the C18 column. Carotenoid standards (ZEA, CAN, ECH, and βCar) were injected separately as premixes. The elution was followed by absorbance at 460 nm and the following gradient structure: 0–5 min 70% acetone in water, 5–25 min gradient of 70–>100% acetone in water, 25–30 min 100% acetone, 30–32 min 100–>70% acetone, then 70% acetone until 40 min. The HPLC runs were carried out on a Prostar 210 system (Varian) equipped with a Prostar 335 diode-array detector enabling to record the 240–900 nm absorbance spectrum of the carotenoids eluted.

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.
