Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Gdn·HCl-induced unfolding of A15C Ngb was studied by Agilent 8453 spectrometer. 10 μL of 2 mM protein sample was added into 2 mL of a guanidine hydrochloride (Gdn·HCl) solution (pH 7.0) with various concentrations (0–6.0 M). After incubation for 30 min, the UV-Vis spectrum was recorded. Control experiment was performed for WT Ngb under the same conditions. The unfolding transition was monitored at different Gdn·HCl concentrations through the changes of the absorbance of the Soret band. The denaturation midpoint (Cm) was calculated by fitting the absorbance of Soret band versus the concentration of Gdn·HCl to a two-state Boltzmann function (eqn (1)). Here, A is the absorbance of Soret band; A1 and A2 are the initial and final absorbance of Soret band, respectively; C is the concentration of Gdn·HCl; Cm is the concentration of Gdn·HCl at midpoint of denaturation.

Spectroscopic Analysis of Biomolecules

UV–Vis spectra were collected using an Agilent 8453 spectrometer, with samples contained in 1 cm × 1 cm quartz cuvettes. Each spectrum was taken with reference to a blank solvent spectrum. Circular dichroism spectra were collected on the same samples using a Jasco J-810 spectropolarimeter with a scan speed of 100 nm/min and bandwidth of 1 nm; the spectra were generally strong enough that signal averaging was unnecessary. As in the UV–vis measurements, a blank toluene baseline spectrum was subtracted from the CD spectra before analysis.

The indicators i1, i2 and i3 were synthesised as described in our earlier papers.33,34 (link) The synthesis of WP6 (ammonium salt) was carried out as reported56–58 (link) with slight modifications in the procedure and described in the ESI in detail. The starting materials and solvents were purchased from commercial suppliers and used without further purification. The neurotransmitters were obtained from Sigma (choline and acetylcholine as chloride salts, histamine as dihydrochloride, serotonin and dopamine as hydrochloride).
The absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic experiments were carried out in HEPES buffers of pH 7.4. The fluorescence quantum yields were determined using Coumarin 153 as reference. The absorption spectra were recorded on an Agilent 8453 spectrometer. The fluorescence spectra were measured on a PerkinElmer 50B spectrofluorimeter. The NMR spectra were acquired on a 500 MHz Bruker Avance DRX-500 spectrometer. All the spectral measurements were carried out at 25 °C.

The as-synthesized 13 nm AuNPs (particle concentration ∼13 nM) were first diluted with an equal volume of 10 mM of the various buffers and then equilibrated at 23 °C for 1 h before titration. For each sample, 20 μL of sodium halide was quickly mixed with 80 μL of 6.5 nM AuNPs and incubated for 1 min. The UV-vis extinction spectra were then measured using an Agilent 8453 spectrometer. The extinction values at 520 nm and 650 nm were recorded.

Enzymatic Nitric Oxide Quantification

UV-vis absorbance spectra were recorded on Agilent 8453 spectrometer for eNOSoxy concentration determination. The activity of eNOSoxy was determined using a Spectra max plus 384 plate reader based on the Griess reaction through a standard calibration curve. It quantifies NO in the form of nitrite (NO2-) in a two-step diazotization reaction in which acidified nitrite produces a nitrosating agent, which is then derivatized to produce the final azo-product with a maximum absorption at 540 nm.
Catalysis of nitric oxide production (in the form of nitrite) from N-hydroxyarginine (NOHA) and H2O2 by eNOSoxy and eNOSoxy bound nanodisc were assayed in 96-well microplates at 37 °C as described previously with modifications. Assays (50 μl final volume) contained 20 mM Tris, 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.4, 500 nM eNOSoxy, 1 mM NOHA, 0.5 mM DTT, 30 mM H2O2, and 10 μM H4B. Reactions were started by adding H2O2 and stopped after 10 min by adding catalase (1300 units). Griess reagents 50 μl of sulfanilamide was added and incubated for 10 min in dark followed by 50 μl of NED which was treated the same. Finally, the assay plate was read at 540 nm in a Spectra max plate reader. Nitrite production was quantitated based on NaNO2 standards.

IR spectra were recorded on a Mattson RS FTIR instrument, averaging 64 scans at resolution 2 cm–1. ATR-IR spectra were an average of 32 scans. UV/visible absorption spectra were measured using an Agilent 8453 spectrometer. Steady state emission spectra were measured using a Hitachi F-4500 fluorimeter. The fluorescence was taken against a ZnTPP reference for the bromide complexes and against the individual dyad ligand ZnTPP-link-Bpy for the picoline complexes. Time-resolved emission was measured with an Edinburgh Instruments FLS980 equipped with a 560 nm pulsed LED (EPLED 560, pulsewidth 1.5 ns) and a red PMT detector. All samples were either degassed by three freeze–pump–thaw cycles or de-aerated by purging the sample with Ar. Correction was applied for instrument response. All absorption and emission measurements were made in 10 × 10 mm quartz cuvettes.

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.
