The reagents N-Bromosuccinimide, N-phenylmorpholine, and sodium sulphate were of biochemical or reagent grade purity, obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (USA) and Component-Reactive Ltd (Russia). Solvents hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol of HPLC grade purity were purchased from Biosolve (The Netherlands). Tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane and diethyl ether were obtained from Russian commercial suppliers and purified by distillation before the experiments. All-trans-retinal (A1) was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (USA). Plastic 1-ml microcentrifuge tubes and disposable Pasteur pipettes from Eppendorf (Germany) were used. All reactions with reagents sensitive to oxygen and moisture were carried out in dry argon atmosphere. In the experiments with photosensitive compounds, care was taken to protect the samples from light by means of aluminium foil wrapped around the equipment.

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.
