Protein Binding Assay for SK14-061a

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein binding assays were performed following a previous reported procedure, with minor modifications [8 (link)]. In short, pooled human plasma, 600 μM HSA and 45 μM AGP were spiked with an aqueous solution of SK14-061a to produce a final SK14-061a concentration of 500 ng/mL, respectively. The unbound drug fraction was determined by ultrafiltration. Ultrafiltration was carried out using an Amicon® Ultra-0.5 mL centrifugal filter unit with an Ultracel®-30 membrane (Merck Millipore Company, MA). Samples of 500 μL were centrifuged at 14,000 g for 10 min. The SK14-061a concentration were determined by LC-MS without the SPE method.

Native Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Purified proteins (and complexes) were buffer exchanged into 200 mM ammonium acetate solution at pH 8.5 using 10 kDa cut-off Amicon Ultra 0.5 ml centrifugal spin filters (Merck Millipore). Samples were centrifuged six times at 12,000 rpm for 5 min at room temperature. Protein concentrations were determined using a Qubit protein assay (ThermoFisher Scientific), and samples were diluted to a concentration of 3.2 μM for native mass spectrometry analysis. Protein samples were introduced into a first-generation Synapt QToF mass spectrometer (Waters Corp) using a nanoelectrospray gold-coated borosilicate glass capillary (prepared in house). Instrument parameters were as follows: capillary voltage 1.2 kV, sampling cone voltage 55 V, source offset 2 V, backing pressure 3.2 mbar, or 5.9 mbar, trap collision energy 8 eV, transfer collision energy 6 eV, and bias 12 V. CID was performed using a trap collision energy of 28 eV and a transfer collision energy of 26 eV. Native mass spectrometry data were processed using MassLynx 4.2 (Waters Corp), UniDec and in house software Amphitrite (38 (link), 39 ).

Recombinant 14-3-3σ Preparation for Native MS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Purified recombinant 14-3-3σ was exchanged into 100 mM ammonium acetate (pH 6.8) using an Amicon Ultra 0.5 mL centrifugal concentrator (Merck Millipore) with successive dilutions and concentrations. The exchanged protein was stored at −20 °C until use. A working stock of 20 μM (monomer) was diluted immediately before native MS analysis. Lyophilised myoglobin (horse heart) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, diluted to a stock concentration of 60 μM in 100 mM ammonium acetate (pH 6.8) and stored at 4 °C prior to use.

The following chemicals were ordered from Sigma (St. Louis, MO): CHES, hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC; 106 Da), poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA; 575 Da), inhibitor remover beads, DMSO, and benzoin methyl ether (BME). FITC was purchased from Life Technologies (Carlsbad, CA). PTB biomarkers were obtained from the following sources: Fer from EMD Millipore (Billerica, MA), LF from Sigma (St. Louis, MO), P1 and P2 from Biomatik (Wilmington, DE), CRF and FITC-labeled P1 from GenScript (Piscataway, NJ), and TNF from ProSpec (East Brunswick, NJ). All solutions were made with deionized water (18.3 MΩ cm) from a Barnstead EASYpure UV/UF system (Dubuque, IA). Methanol was purchased from Macron (Center Valley, PA), sodium hydroxide from Mallinckrodt Baker (Paris, KY), and sodium bicarbonate from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany). HEPES, cyclohexane, and Amicon ultra 0.5 mL centrifugal (3, 10, 30, and 50 kDa cutoff) filters were purchased from EMD Millipore. Zeonor 1060R cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) was purchased in 1 and 2 mm thick sheets (Zeon Chemicals; Louisville, KY) cut to 2.2 x 5 cm pieces with an industrial bandsaw. Silicon wafers were from Fairchild (Phoenix, AZ) and S1805 photoresist came from MicroChem (Westborough, MA).

Plasma Protein Binding Determination Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasma protein binding (PPB) studies were conducted using a modified ultra-filtration technique [10 (link)]. Briefly, stock solutions were diluted with acetonitrile and spiked in blank rat plasma at three different concentrations: 50, 100, and 500 ng/mL for oncrasin-266 and oncrasin-72; and 25, 50, and 250 ng/mL for NSC-741908. The plasma was incubated at 37 °C for 10 min before being transferred to Amicon Ultra-0.5 mL centrifugal filters of 30kDa (EMD Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA) for ultrafiltration at 20,800 x g for 15 min at 4°C. Filtrate and nonfiltrate plasma concentrations were spiked with IS and analyzed by LC-MS/MS.
Drug protein binding was calculated as PB = [1 ( Cu/Cp)]. Where PB represents protein binding, Cu is the unbound drug concentration, and Cp is the protein-bound drug concentration. Experiments were conducted in triplicate.

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.
