Spectrophotometric Kinetics of Ferrous Iron Oxidation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Iron solutions were prepared by dissolving ferrous iron sulfate in deionized water, adjusted to pH 2.0 with hydrochloric acid, and then filtered through 0.2 µm Whatman Puradisc polyethersulfone sterile syringe filters from Cytiva. Typically, 5 µL injections of a stock ferrous sulfate solution are added to a 1 mL protein solution prepared in 20 mM Mops, pH 7.4, sitting in a quartz cuvette with a screw-on cap stock to achieve a desired iron/protein ratio. The Fe(II) oxidation kinetics were followed under constant stirring on a Varian Cary 50 Bio or Cary 60 spectrophotometers from Agilent Technologies at 305 nm, where the Fe(III) oxo(hydroxo) species absorbs.

Hydrogen tetrachloroaurate(iii) trihydrate (HAuCl4·3H2O), silver nitrate (AgNO3), trisodium citrate (Na3C6H5O7), ascorbic acid (AA), hydrochloric acid (HCl), 5,5-dithio-bis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB), dopamine hydrochloride ((HO)2C6H3CH2CH2NH2·HCl), purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. All reagents were of analytical grade and used as received. Deionized water (DI) was used in all synthesis. All glassware was precleaned by aqua regia and then rinsed thoroughly with DI water. The morphology of nanoparticles was examined by Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM, Hitachi, H7650, Japan) at a voltage of 100 kV. In order to prevent aggregation of nanoparticles on the copper grid in the drying process, samples were prepared in 1 mg ml−1 BSA solution for TEM measurements.41 (link) The mean size of nanoparticles was determined using Image J software (open source) and TEM images. UV-visible spectroscopy (Varian Cary 50 Bio, Agilent Technologies, USA) was used to obtain absorbance spectrum of the prepared colloidal nanoparticles. Samples were numbered S1–S8. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM, Hitachi S 4700) was used to determine of aggregated nanoparticles on the substrate. The surface charge of nanoparticles was determined with Zetasizer (Malvern, Nanoseries Nano-ZS). Schematic of the preparation process of the sensing platform is shown in Fig. 1.

Total Phenolic Content Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The total phenolic content of the samples (cinnamon oleoresins and white chocolates) was estimated according to the method described by Udayaprakash et al. (2015) . The diluted sample (200 µl) was added to 1 mL distilled water and 200 µL Folin-Ciocalteu reagent. The solution was maintained at room temperature for 6 min before the addition of 2.5 mL 7% Na2CO3 solution and 2.1 mL distilled water. In order to obtain a stable coloured complex, the solution was incubated for 90 min at room temperature (∼20 °C). The absorbance was measured at 760nm using a UVvisible spectrophotometer (Varian Cary 50 Bio, Agilent Technology). The total phenolic content was expressed as milligrams of epicatechin equivalents per gram of the plant extract (mg ECE/g extract).

Kinetic Study of Iron Oxidation in Ferritin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Conventional UV–vis spectroscopy was performed on a Varian Cary 50 Bio (or Cary 60) spectrophotometers from Agilent Technologies. All iron oxidation kinetics in ferritin were conducted at 25.00 °C in 100 mM MOPS buffer, 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.4 using freshly prepared samples using independent protein preparations to ensure reproducibility. The kinetic traces were followed at 305 nm where the Fe(III) oxo(hydroxo) species absorbs. The instrument was zeroed using the “iron-free” ferritin solution, prepared in buffer as the blank. We note that in our studies, “iron-free” ferritins refer to purified ferritin samples, as expressed in E. coli, without any treatment to remove residual iron, which under our experimental conditions were found to contain ~50–75 Fe(III) ions per protein. Typically, for the iron oxidation kinetics, 2–3 μL of a ferrous sulfate solution prepared in deionized H2O (pH 2.0) were injected into a 1.0 ml protein solution containing a spin bar for rapid mixing. Other experimental conditions are stated in the figure captions.

FixABCX electron bifurcation activity was measured anaerobically in a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Varian Cary 50 Bio, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) using quartz cuvettes (d= 1 cm). All assays were carried out in 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 10% glycerol and 0.02% DDM and contained the following: 0.8 μM FixABCX (1.7 nmol flavin/nmol FixABCX and 9.1 nmol Fe/nmol FixABCX), 85 μM FldSq, 200 μM NADH, and 300 μM Coenzyme Q1 (CoQ1). NADH, FldSq, and FldOx were monitored at 340 nm (ε= 6.2 mM−1 cm−1), 580 nm (ε= 5.7 mM−1 cm−1), and 450 nm (ε= 11.3 mM−1 cm−1), respectively.12 (link),52 (link) The Fld used in the assays as the low-potential electron acceptor was purified in the hydroquinone state as previously described.5 (link) FldHq was exposed to oxygen for a short period of time, upon which the majority (>80%) of the FldHq converted to the semiquinone form. The protein was then degassed with argon, and the absorbance of the semiquinone species was measured at 580 nm. The concentration was then calculated using the extinction coefficient (ε= 5.7 mM−1 cm−1).

The effects of pH (2–9), temperature (293.16–323.16 K), shaking (0–150 rpm), initial dye concentration (25–2500 mg L−1), contact time (5–1440 min) and biosorbent dosage (1–10 g L−1) for the MB removal were investigated. The respective conditions have been mentioned in the relevant figures.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine ligand selectivity of CYP168A1, UV–visible difference spectra were acquired on a Varian Cary 50 Bio UV–visible scanning spectrophotometer (Agilent) for various ligands, including antifungal azole compounds and fatty acids. Both sample and reference chambers contained 1 ml of 1 μM CYP168A1 in 100 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.4. Prior to initiating the titration, a baseline was recorded between 350 and 500 nm. Aliquots of ligand stock solutions prepared by serial dilution in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were added to the sample cuvette, whereas equal volume of vehicle solvent was added to the reference cuvette to determine the difference spectrum at varying concentrations. The absolute changes in absorbance deriving from a minimum of triplicate titrations were plotted as a function of ligand concentration and fitted to the one binding site model using the GraphPad Prism software (version 9.0.0, GraphPad software).

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.
