Characterization of antimicrobial peptide LSX01

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The molecular weight and AA sequence of the purified LSX01 were determined by a Nano LC-MS/MS platform in an Ultimate 3000 system coupled with an Orbitrap Elite Hybrid Ion Trap-Orbitrap mass spec-trometer (Thermo Scientific), as described previously (Li et al., 2021) (link). Briefly, LSX01 was eluted with 0.1% formic acid (Macklin), 100% water, 0.1% formic acid, and 100% acetonitrile (Macklin). The liquid chromatography linear gradient elution was implemented from 6% to 9% B for 6 min, from 9% to 50% B for 30 min, from 50% to 95% B for 3 min, and 95% to 95% B for 5 min, with a flow rate of 0.2 μL/min. The primary mass spectrum was obtained by a single full scan (MS) in the range of 100 to 1,400 m/z, and the secondary mass spectrum data were obtained by the step-normalized collision energy. The mass spectra signals obtained by MS scan were further assessed for protein identification in Peaks Studio X (Bioinformatics Solutions Inc.). Antimicrobial peptide databases (i.e., National Center for Biotechnology Information, UniProt, and Swiss-Prot) were searched separately using the Blastp tool, and the antibacterial effects of LSX01 were reconfirmed by the Oxford cup double-plate method.

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.
