For RNA purification, the frozen bacterial pellets were dissolved in 200 µL 10 mM Tris-EDTA (TE) buffer pH 8.0 containing lysozyme (3 mg/mL, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany), and incubated at 25 °C for 10 min. Then, 500 µL RNAzol RT (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) was added, mixed by vortexing and incubated for 15 min at room temperature. After incubation, the mixture was centrifuged at 12,000× g for 15 min at 4 °C. An amount of 400 µL supernatant was removed and mixed with 400 µL ethanol (Reanal, Budapest, Hungary) in a new 1.5 mL tube. The RNA from the mix was further purified with a Direct-zol RNA MiniPrep Plus Kit (Zymo Research, Irvine, CA, USA), with DNase I treatment on the column. RNA was eluted with 50 µL DNase/RNase-free water and stored at −70 °C. The RNA quantities and the qualities were checked with a NanoDrop ND-1000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and by a native 1% agarose gel.

Fluorescence-based Evaluation of ZEN-CD Complexes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fluorescence spectroscopic measurements were performed using a Hitachi F-4500 fluorimeter (Tokyo, Japan). Increasing amounts of CDs (final concentrations: 0, 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 μM) were added to ZEN (2 μM), after which fluorescence emission spectra of ZEN and ZEN-CD complexes were recorded (λex = 315 nm). To approximate extracellular physiological conditions, experiments were carried out in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4; containing 8.00 g/L NaCl, 0.20 g/L KCl, 1.81 g/L Na2HPO4 × 2H2O, and 0.24 g/L KH2PO4).
Stock solution of ZEN (5000 μM) was prepared in 96 v/v(%) ethanol (Reanal; Budapest, Hungary). In fluorescence spectroscopic studies, the concentration of ethanol did not exceed 0.04 v/v (%). Binding constants (K, unit: L/mol) of ZEN-CD complexes were determined employing the graphical application of the Benesi-Hildebrand equation, assuming 1:1 stoichiometry of complex formation (Poór et al., 2015b) :
where I0 and I are the fluorescence emission intensity of ZEN without and with CDs, respectively (λex = 315 nm, λem = 455 nm).
[CD] denotes the molar concentration of CDs (unit: mol/L), A is a constant, and n is the number of binding sites.

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.
