Fluorescence spectra were acquired using a Jasco-FP8300 spectrofluorometer (Jasco Inc., Easton, MD, USA) equipped with a temperature-controlled circulator. Fluorescence was measured in a quartz cell with path length of 1 cm, using an excitation wavelength of 377 nm and an emission spectra scan from 520–600 nm. The titration experiments were carried out at protoberberine concentrations of 0.2 μM in 100 mM K+. wtTel26 DNA at the specified concentrations was titrated into the four protoberberine solutions, respectively, and the resulting solutions were incubated for 2 min before fluorescence measurements were taken. The disassociation constant Kd was calculated using GraphPad Prism software (San Diego, CA, USA fitting of an equation: A = Amin + (Amax − Amin) [(PT + OT + Kd) − [((PT + OT + Kd)2 − (4PTOT))1/2]/(2OT), where A represents the fluorescence intensity of the protoberberines bound to wtTel26 DNA. Both Amax and Amin are fit in addition to Kd. The protoberberine concentration, OT, was held constant, and PT, the total complex concentration is the independent variable, varying with each measurement of A.

Characterizing Myc2345 DNA Binding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All fluorescence spectra were acquired on a Jasco FP-8300 spectrofluorometer (JASCO, Inc.) equipped with a temperature controller at 25°C. A 100 nM sample of 3′-TAMRA-labeled Myc2345_T23 was prepared in 25 mM potassium phosphate buffer, 75 mM KCl, pH 7. The emission spectrum between 565 and 610 nm was recorded with an excitation wavelength of 555 nm, excitation and emission bandwidth of 5 nm, a response time of 4 s, a data interval of 1 nm, and a scanning speed of 50 nm/min. An initial titration of PEQ to the 3′-TAMRA-labeled Myc2345_T23 was performed to determine the optimal ligand-DNA ratio for the competition experiments. A 10:1 ratio was chosen to obtain significant TAMRA quenching while limiting the excess of PEQ in solution. The emission at 579 nm was used to follow the changes in TAMRA fluorescence upon ligand or DNA addition. Myc2345 or Myc2345_T23 were titrated to the 10:1 mixture of PEQ and 3′-TAMRA labeled Myc2345_T23 in duplicate to determine the C50 value, the concentration of the competing unlabeled DNA sequence at which half the initially quenched fluorescence is restored. For this purpose, the normalized change in TAMRA fluorescence ΔF was fitted against ΔFmax/(1 + (C50/x)n) with ΔFmax as maximum change in fluorescence, x as the concentration of the competing DNA sequence, and n as slope.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fluorescence experiments were performed by utilizing a JASCO FP 8300 spectrofluorometer (JASCO, Tokyo, Japan). Experiments were carried out at 25 °C in a 3 mm path-length quartz cuvette for 4 μM peptide in pH 7.0 buffer containing 100 mM KCl, 0.5 mM EDTA titrated with equimolar concentration of HTPu. The temperature of the cell holder was regulated by a JASCO ETC-273T temperature controller. Samples were prepared by same procedure. Excitation and emission slit width were 5 nm each and the samples were excited at 275 nm and the emission was recorded in a range of 300 nm to 500 nm. Experiment has been repeated in triplicates to reproduce the data. Modified Stern–Volmer equation was used to analyze fluorescence quenching data to find out various binding parameters for this interaction since binding parameters are vital to study about the binding mechanism.where the highest fluorescence intensity in the absence of ligand is F0 whilst F depicts fluorescence intensity in the presence of ligand, K depicts the binding constant, n depicts the number of binding sites, and the concentration of RT is depicted by C.

Fluorescence experiments were collected with a Jasco-FP8300 spectrofluorometer (Jasco Inc., Easton, MD). Emission spectra were measured from 520 to 600 using a 1 cm path length quartz cell. The selected excitation wavelength was 377 nm. dGMP–Pu19m2 binary complex (20:1) was titrated to a 0.2 μM berberine solution in potassium phosphate buffer (50 mM K+) and incubated for 2 min before each measurement. The Kd value was calculated by fitting the data to an equation: F = Fmin + (FmaxFmin) [(PT + CT + Kd) – [((DT + CT + Kd)2 – (4DTCT))1/2]/(2CT), where F represents the ligand-induced fluorescence intensity, CT is the ligand concentration, and DT is the ternary complex concentration.

Fluorescence Titration Assay of BMVC Binding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fluorescence spectra were acquired with a Jasco-FP8300 spectrofluorometer (Jasco Inc., Easton, MD, USA) equipped with a temperature-controlled circulator. Fluorescence was measured between 500 and 600 nm in a quartz cell with path length of 1 cm, using an excitation wavelength of 475 nm. The titration experiments were carried out at a BMVC concentration of 20 nM in presence of 25 mM K-phosphate and 70 mM KCl buffer or 25 mM Na-phosphate and 70 mM NaCl buffer at pH 7. Six different DNA sequences at the specific concentration were added into the BMVC solutions and the resulting solutions were incubated for 2 min before fluorescence was measured. The apparent Kd was calculated using GraphPad Prism software to fit the equation assuming a 1:1 model: F = Fmax [(MT + LT + Kd) – ((MT + LT + Kd)2 – (4MTLT))1/2]/(2LT), where F represents the BMVC fluorescence intensity at 563 nm. Fmax is fitted in addition to apparent Kd. The total BMVC (ligand) concentration, LT, was held constant and MT, the total DNA (Macromolecule) concentration is an independent variable, varying with each titration step. The binding isotherm could be fitted with the equation assuming a 1:1 model, suggesting that the apparent Kd is probably dominated by the stronger binding site at the 5′-end.

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.
