Purification and Validation of 3D20E22P

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
3D20E22P was purified from MAGs. The purification was performed at analytical scale under the same LC conditions as for HPLC–MS/MS analysis using an ultra-performance liquid chromatography instrument (Acquity, Waters) coupled with a quadrupole mass-based detector (QDa, Acquity, Waters). Fraction collection was triggered when the m/z corresponding to 3D20E22P was detected at the same retention time as that previously identified. The purity of the extracted compounds was then checked by HPLC–MS/MS as described above.

Soluble sugars were extracted by shaking vigorously in 80% (v/v) ethanol twice after grinding grain endosperm, and the samples were centrifuged at 12 000 g for 15 min. The supernatant was added chloroform (v/v) for removing the pigment, the solution was centrifuged, and the supernatant was collected. Cell extracts were analysed by ultrahigh‐performance liquid chromatography (Acquity, Waters) coupled to a Q Exactive hybrid quadrupole–orbitrap mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The injection volume was 10 μL. Metabolites were separated with a Luna NH2 column (100 mm × 2 mm, 3 μm particle size, Phenomenex). The LC‐MS data were analysed as described previously (Zhang et al., 2018b). Lipids were extracted from dehulled rice seeds and analysed by liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC‐SI‐MS). Polar lipids were analysed using an Exion UPLC system coupled with a triple quadrupole/ion trap mass spectrometer (6500 Plus Qtrap; SCIEX). MRM transitions were set up for comparative analysis of various polar lipids (Lim et al., 2014). Lipid species in each class were quantified by referencing to spiked internal standards corrected by response factor determined by two standards of same class as described previously (Lu et al., 2018).

UPLC-MS Analysis of Oxidation Products

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ultra-performance liquid chromatograph
(UPLC) Acquity (Waters Ltd.) equipped with a photodiode array detector
and combined with an LCT Premier XE (Waters Ltd.) mass spectrometer
was used for the chromatographic separation and identification of
AMBB and AAPBA oxidation products. Separation was performed on a reversed-phase
C18 UPLC column (Waters Acquity UPLC BEH C18 1.7 mm, 50 × 2.1 mm) equilibrated with a water/acetonitrile
(CH3CN) (90/10 v/v) mobile phase containing 0.1% (v/v)
trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). The analytes were separated at a flow
rate of 0.3 mL/min. During the first 0.5 min of analysis, the composition
of the mobile phase remained unchanged. The fraction of CH3CN was then gradually increased from 10 to 82% over the next 2 min.
The injection volume was 2 μL, the sample temperature was 20
°C, and the column temperature was 40 °C. The electrospray
source was operated at positive ion mode using the following parameters:
capillary voltage 2.8 kV, sample cone voltage 60 V, desolvation temp.
350 °C, source temp. 100 °C, desolvation gas flow 800 L/h,
and cone gas flow 50 L/h. The MCP detector voltage was 2.5 kV.

For protein precipitation, an ice‐cold methanol/water (3 : 1) solution was added to the serum and centrifuged at 20 817 g for 15 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was diluted with distilled water to half the volume of the supernatant, and it was then injected in the ultra‐performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) (ACQUITY®; Waters, Milford, MA, USA) coupled with a QToF‐MS (SYNAPT™ G2; Waters).

Liver extracts were analyzed with a UPLC system (Acquity, Waters, Manchester) coupled to a Time of Flight mass spectrometer (ToF MS, SYNAPT G2, Waters). A 2.1 × 100 mm, 1.7 mm BEH amide column (Waters), stabilized at 40 °C, was used to separate the analytes before entering the MS. Solvent A (aqueous phase) consisted of 99.5% water, 0.5% formic acid, and 20 mM ammonium formate while solvent B (organic phase) consisted of 29.5% water, 70% MeCN, 0.5% formic acid, and 1 mM ammonium formate. The extracted ion trace was obtained for GSH (m/z = 308.0916) and GSSG (m/z = 613.1598) and in the case of NAPQI–GSH (m/z = 457.139) in a 20 mDa window and subsequently smoothed (2 points, 2 iterations) and integrated with QuanLynx software (Waters, Manchester).

The synthetic structure of PUs were measured using nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared. 1H-NMR spectra of PUs were measured using nuclear magnetic resonance (500 MHz, Bruker, Karlsruhe, Germany), with 5% (w/v) polymer solution in Chloroform-d. FT-IR spectra of PUs were measured using a Fourier transform infrared (Varian 640-IR, Varian, Sydney, Australia), and the spectrum ranged from 4000 to 700 cm1. The number average molecular weights (Mn), weight average molecular weights (Mw), and polydispersity index (PDI) of the PUs were measured by gel permeation chromatography (ACQUITY, Waters, Milford, CT, USA). The measurement conditions were measured using the standard sample polystyrene (Mw = 47,200, 129,000 and 264,000) and using the Tetrahydrofuran solution at a rate of 0.5 mL/min1. The thermal analysis was measured using a differential scanning calorimetry (Exstar 7020, SEIKO, Tokyo, Japan). The PU sample was sealed in an Al pan, cooled to −70 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere, and then heated to 300 °C at a rate of 10 °C min1 and measured. Contact angle equipment (Phoenix 300, Surface Electro Optics, Suwon, Republic of Korea) was used to measure the wettability of the polymer surface.

The bacteria were cultured in a TSB medium until the optical depth value measured at a wavelength of 600 nm (OD600) reached 3.5. The secondary metabolites were extracted using ethyl acetate, which has a moderate polarity and low boiling point. Then, 5 mL of the bacterial culture solution was extracted three times using the same volume of acidified ethyl acetate (containing 0.01% glacial acetic acid), and the extract was dried using a centrifugal concentrator. The extract was analyzed via ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) (Waters ACQUITY, Milford, MA, USA) using a coupled MicroTOF-MS system (Bruker Daltonics GmbH, Bremen, Germany). A 2.1 mm × 150 mm reversed phase chromatographic column (Waters, BEH C18, 1.7 μm, Milford, MA, USA) with a flow rate of 250 μL min−1 was used. The sample was dissolved in acetonitrile and eluted for 30 min using a gradient mobile phase (5% murine, 95% acetonitrile solution containing 1% formic acid). The LC-MS results were processed using DataAnalysis version 3.3 software provided by Bruker Company, Billerica, MA, USA.

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.
