Trypsin

Manufactured by G Biosciences

Trypsin is a serine protease enzyme that is commonly used in laboratory settings to facilitate cell detachment and dissociation. Its primary function is to cleave peptide bonds, particularly those involving the carboxyl group of lysine or arginine residues. This enzymatic activity is essential for various cell culture applications, where trypsin is employed to release adherent cells from the growth surface, enabling their isolation, propagation, or further experimental manipulation.

The worm pellet was ground into fine powder using a single 2.8 mm i.d. steel ball with a TissueLyser II (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) at a frequency of 30 Hz for 30 sec, followed by the addition of 100 μl extraction solvent of PBS buffer, pH 7.5, with protease inhibitor and vortexing. Supernatants were collected after centrifugation at 16,000 × g (10 min, 4 °C). Protein was then quantified with a Qubit Protein Assay Kit (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) in compliance with the manufacturer’s protocol. Disulfide bonds were reduced using 100 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) at a ratio of 1:10 DTT/sample volume and incubated at 50 °C for 45 min. Cysteine bonds were then alkylated with 200 mM iodoacetamide at the same volume ratio for 20 min at room temperature. Finally, protein was digested with trypsin (G-Biosciences, St. Louis, MO) at a 1:50 ratio of trypsin/protein, and incubated at 37 °C for 12 hr.

The identity of two versions of P. denitrificans BioR proteins (BioR1 and BioR2) was verified using A Waters Q-Tof API-US Quad-ToF mass spectrometer connected to a Waters nano Acquity UPLC (Feng and Cronan 2011 (link)). As we described before (Feng and Cronan 2011 (link)), the protein band of interest was digested with Trypsin (G-Biosciences St. Louis, MO), and the resultant peptides were loaded on a Waters Atlantis C-18 column (0.03 mm particle, 0.075 × 150 mm). The dependently acquired data were further subjected to the ms/ms analyses.

Red Blood Cell-Coated Nano-Particles Formulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A series of RBC-NP formulations were prepared by coating 1 mg of PLGA cores with RBC membranes collected from 200 μL, 100 μL, 75 μL, 50 μL, 25 μL or 0 μL of mouse blood. Each formulation was then adjusted to 1 × PBS buffer (pH = 7.4) and sonicated for 5 min using an FS30D bath sonicator (Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) at a frequency of 42 kHz and a power of 100W to facilitate the aggregation process. After sonication, the hydrodynamic diameter of the particles was determined using DLS. trypsinized RBC-NPs were prepared by incubating a stable RBC-NP formulation (100 μL blood per mg PLGA core) with 50 μg mL−1 trypsin (G-Biosciences, St. Louis, MO). Two hours following the trypsinization, the particle size was measured by DLS.

Quantifying RBC-NP Glycoproteins and Sialic Acid

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RBC-NPs were first prepared with 100 nm PLGA cores and RBC membrane vesicles. For glycoprotein quantification, proteins exposed on the RBC-NP surfaces were trypsinized by incubating 1 mL of 1 mg mL−1 RBC-NPs with 5 μg of trypsin (G-Biosciences, St. Louis, MO) at room temperature for 2 h. Sialic acid removal from RBC-NPs was performed by incubating 1 mL of 1 mg mL−1 of RBC-NPs in water with 100 units of sialidase (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN) at room temperature for 2 h. The samples were then centrifuged at 200,000 × g for 45 min using an Optima L-90K Ultracentrifuge (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA), and the supernatant was collected and examined for glycoprotein and sialic acid content. To quantify glycoprotein, the supernatant was examined using Glycoprotein Detection Reagent (Thermo Scientific) following manufacturer’s instructions. To quantify sialic acid, the supernatant was examined using Sialic Acid Quantification Kit (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Equivalent amounts of RBC ghosts and bare PLGA cores were used as a positive and a negative control, respectively.

The identities of the four chimeric proteins of MCR-1 and -2 (TM-MCR-1, TM1-EptA, TM-MCR-2, and TM2-EptA) were examined using a Waters quadrupole time of flight (QTOF) API-US mass spectrometer (53 (link), 54 (link)). A band obtained from SDS-PAGE separation of purified protein was digested with trypsin (G-Biosciences St. Louis, MO), and the resultant peptides were analyzed with a Waters Atlantis C18 column (0.03-mm particle size, 0.075 by 150 mm). Finally, the acquired data were subjected to further analyses through the Waters ProteinLynx Global Server 2.2.5, Mascot (Matrix Sciences), and BLAST against the NCBI nr database.

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.
