Fluorescence Characterization of Silk Fibroin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A Shimadzu spectrofluorophotometer RF-6000 was used to record the fluorescence spectra of a silk-fibroin film. Fluorescence excitation-emission matrices were measured using an excitation wavelength of 256 nm. The corresponding emission in the 250–600 nm range with 5 nm increment was recorded. These wavelength ranges supported for intrinsic fluorescence measurements of tyrosine, tryptophan and other endogenous fluorophores in the UV-Vis range. The photomultiplier tube detector gain was fixed at 700 V.

All 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded in DMSO-d6 solutions at 298 K using a Bruker (400 MHz) spectrometer with tetramethylsilane as an internal standard. Mass spectra were recorded on matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight MS (MALDI-TOF MS), Performance (Shimadzu, Japan). Perkin Elmer CE-440 was used for micro elemental analyses. Infrared spectra were recorded by Perkin Elmer (Spectrum 100) FT-IR Spectrometer. UV-vis spectra were recorded using Perkin Elmer (Lambda 750) UV/Vis/NIR Spectrometer in ethyl acetate solvent. Fluorescence emission, quantum yield, and lifetime measurements were performed by SHIMADZU Spectro fluorophotometer RF-6000. Aggregations of HQTPE were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) by a Hitachi SU-8010 SEM instrument fitted with a field-emission source and operating at 10 kV. Samples were prepared for SEM by mounting a portion of the cover slide on a silicon stub. Electrochemical measurements were performed on a CH-Instruments Model CHI660D using a one-compartment cell under air atmosphere.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We employed fluorescence binding study to check the actual binding of capsaicin with htf in line with earlier studies on Shimadzu Spectrofluorophotometer (RF-6000). The concentration of htf was kept constant (4 µM) and capsaicin was varied in the range of 0–6 µM. The data obtained was put into Modified Stern–Volmer (MSV) equation as per earlier literature to obtain the binding constant (K) of Htf-capsaicin complex (Shamsi et al., 2020 (link)). We carried out the experiment in triplicates and mean value was taken into account. All the spectra reported here are the subtracted spectra after considering the fluorescence of capsaicin by taking a blank spectra of the ligand.

Tyrosinase Fluorescence Quenching by Kojic Acid

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Steady state fluorescence spectra were carried out on a Shimadzu spectrofluorophotometer RF-6000 (Kyoto, Japan). All measurements were performed in a standard quartz cell of 1.0 cm path length, embedded in a thermostatic cell holder. Fluorescence emission spectra were recorded upon excitation wavelength at 280 nm. The slit widths for excitation and emission were set to 3 nm and 5 nm, respectively. A 3 ml solution in cuvette containing of 0.65μM tyrosinase, within the linear concentration region for fluorescence intensity (data not shown), was added successively with 1μl of 30 mM kojic acid aliquot using a trace syringe for 10 times. The addition of small volume of buffer solution during titration had little effect on the extent of fluorescence quenching [5, 6] (link) . Fluorescence quenching was analyzed by Stern-Volmer equation (1) [7, (link)8] (link):

Intracellular ROS were determined by oxidation of to rhodamine by spectrofluorescence. This probe measures levels of ROS intermediates such as peroxynitrite, H 2 O 2 and the hydroxyl radical OH. (Royall and Ischiropoulos 1993) . Briefly, MG-63 cells were incubated at 37 °C with different concentrations of the complexes. After 24 h, cells were incubated with 10 mM DHR-123. After 1 h, cells were scraped into 1 mL 0.1% Triton-X100. The cell extracts were then analyzed for the oxidized product rhodamine by measuring fluorescence (excitation wavelength, 495 nm; emission wavelength, 532 nm), using a Shimadzu Spectrofluorophotometer RF-6000 equipped with a computer working with LabSolutions RF software. Results were corrected for protein content with the Pierce TM BCA Protein Assay Kit.

Aliquots of the stock solutions were diluted with equal volumes of solutions of different concentrations of Cu(NO3)2 in 0.1M KNO3 at pH 8, so that the final solutions had 15 mg L-1 HA or HA enz, 0.1M KNO3 and 0, 7.5, 15, 25, 40 or 60 µM Cu(II).

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.
