Reduced glutathione, GSH (CAS no. 70-18-8) and 4,4′-methylenebis(phenyl isocyanate) or MDI (CAS no. 101-68-8) were from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO) and were of ≥98.0% purity. GSH was reacted with MDI under conditions that yield reaction products with the greatest capacity to carbamoylate human albumin, among the conditions tested in previously published studies.18 (link) Briefly, 50 μL of 10% (w/v) MDI in acetone from JT Baker (Phillipsburg, NJ) was added dropwise with stirring to 25 mL of 10 mM GSH in 200 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.4. The reaction mixture was rotated end-over-end for 2 h at 37 °C and then centrifuged at 10 000g, 0.2 μm filtered, aliquoted, and used immediately or snap frozen in LN2 and stored at −80 °C until analysis could be performed.

Four different German commercial wheat flours Type 550 were supplied by Rosenmühle (Landshut, Germany). Flour characteristics were analyzed according to methods of the AACC international (AACCi) and of the International Association for Cereal Science and Technology (ICC): the moisture (AACCi 44-01), protein content (AACCi 46-16, N × 5.7), ash (ICC 104/1), and falling number (AACCi 56-81). All specifications and characteristics of the four flours are summarized in Table 1. The use of various flours was intended to detect microstructural changes independent of the raw material. Ascorbic acid was supplied by Carl Roth GmbH + Co. KG (Karlsruhe, Germany), glutathione by VWR International GmbH (Darmstadt, Germany), transglutaminase (≥1000 units/g) and glucose oxidase (≥1100 units/g) by AB Enzymes GmbH (kindly provided by AB Enzymes GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany), potassium bromate (KBrO3) by ThermoFisher GmbH (Karlsruhe, Germany), bromelain (≥3 units/mg protein) and d(+)glucose by Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH (Steiheim, Germany), Rhodamine B by Merck KGaA (Darmstadt, Germany), rapeseed oil by Cargill Oil Packers bvba (Izegem Belgien) and shortening (ingredients: palm fat, coconut fat, rapeseed oil, water, emulsifier, NaCl, citric acid, aroma, carotin) by MeisterMarken (CSM Deutschland GmbH, Bingen, Germany).

Oxidative
folding of
KIIIA peptides was performed as described previously.29 (link) Oxidative folding of S-m3-huwentoxin-IV was
accomplished by glutathione-assisted folding at 25 °C overnight
under the following conditions: 15 μM reduced peptide in 0.1
M Tris-HCl (pH 8.0, Amresco, Solon, OH), 10% (v/v) isopropanol (Chem-Supply
Pty. Ltd.), and 5 mM reduced and 1 mM oxidized glutathione (Sigma-Aldrich).
The reaction was quenched by decreasing the pH to 2 using an ACN/TFA/H2O mixture [1/1/1 (v/v/v)].

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.
