S9C:WT (1:2) αSyn amyloid fibres were incubated with Alexa Fluor 647 maleimide dye (10‐fold molar excess, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and Biotin‐X, SE dye (2.5‐fold molar excess, Thermo Fisher Scientific) for at least 2 h at room temperature in the dark in HKMT buffer. T111C Hsc70 was incubated with Alexa Fluor 488 maleimide dye (10‐fold molar excess, Thermo Fisher Scientific) for at least 2 h at room temperature in the dark in HKMT buffer. Labelled Hsc70 was then buffer exchanged using PD SpinTrap G‐25 column (Cytiva) pre‐equilibrated in HKMD buffer. Labelled amyloid fibres (1 µM) were incubated with labelled Hsc70 (2 µM), DNAJB1 (1 µM) and Apg2 (0.2 µM, if indicated) in disaggregation buffer for 1 h at 30°C in the dark. The T111C‐Alexa Fluor 488 Hsc70 had the same disaggregation activity as unlabelled T111C‐Hsc70 (Fig EV5).

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.
