Monomeric bsa

Manufactured by Merck Group

Monomeric BSA is a laboratory reagent that consists of purified bovine serum albumin (BSA) in its monomeric form. BSA is a widely used protein in various biochemical and cell culture applications due to its stability, solubility, and ability to maintain the activity of sensitive biomolecules. The monomeric form of BSA is commonly used as a standard, blocking agent, or additive in techniques such as Western blotting, ELISA, and cell culture media.

We configured a Biorad Biological DuoFlow 10 system coupled with a miniDAWN-TREOS static 3-angle laser light-scattering detector and an Optilab-rEX refractive index detector (Wyatt Technology) for conducting the SEC-MALS experiments. 250 µl of purified protein sample (0.1–0.5 mg) was passed, at a constant flow rate of 0.5 ml/min, through an ENrich SEC 650 10 × 300 high-resolution column (Biorad) thoroughly pre-equilibrated with buffer B at room temperature. UV absorbance was measured with the detector at 280 nm. Light scattering and refractive index were monitored at a wavelength of 658 nm. BioLogic DuoFlow software version 5.3 (Biorad) was used to control the chromatography system, and Astra 5.3.4 software (Wyatt Technology) was used for data collection and analysis. The light-scattering (LS) detectors were normalized with monomeric BSA (Sigma). Baseline settings for all laser detectors as well as peak alignment and band-broadening correction between the UV, LS, and refractive index detectors were performed using Astra software algorithms. Data were processed to determine the weight-average molar mass and polydispersity of the protein sample using the Debye model as per the manufacturer’s instructions. A minimum of three repeat runs was conducted for each construct under identical experimental conditions.

Purified GAC and GAC mutants were subjected to multi-angle light scattering (MALS) as previously described by Moller et al., “Small Angle X-Ray Scattering Studies of Mitochondrial Glutaminase C Reveal Extended Flexible Regions, and Link Oligomeric State with Enzyme Activity,” PLoS One 8(9):e74783 (2013), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Briefly, 50 μL samples of 5 mg/mL GAC were injected onto a WTC-030S5 size-exclusion column (Wyatt technology), coupled to a static 18-angle light scattering detector (DAWN HELEOS-II) and a refractive index detector (OptiLab TrEX, Wyatt Technology), at 23° C. The size-exclusion column was equilibrated with 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.5, and 200 mM NaCl with or without 50 mM K2HPO4. The flow rate was kept at 1 mL/minutes. RMS radius and mass distribution (polydispersity) were analyzed using the ASTRA software, with monomeric BSA (Sigma) serving to normalize the light scattering signal.

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.
