The mobile phases, consisting of A (methanol) and B (2 mmol/L ammonium formate containing 0.1% formic acid), were set at the flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The elution gradient was as follows: 0–1.0 min (B: 95%), 1–3 min (B: 95–80%), 3–7.5 min (B: 80–5%), 7.5–10 min (B: 5%), 10–10.1 min (B: 5–95%), and 10.1–12.0 min (B: 95%). The injection volume of the sample extract was 5 µL. Source temperature was 500 °C and ion spray voltage was set at 4.5 kV; curtain gas, gas 1, and gas 2 pressures were set at 40 psi, 55 psi, and 50 psi, respectively.

The production of GOSs was measured using 5% (wt/vol) lactose as a substrate in the assay buffer (20 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, containing 150 mM NaCl) at 25 °C. The reactions were initiated by mixing 125 μL of substrate solution containing 20% (wt/vol) lactose and 375 μL of protein solution containing 0.4 μM BgaD-D and/or an appropriate concentration of monobody (133–266 μM). Samples were withdrawn periodically and boiled for 10 min to terminate the reaction. The amounts of monosaccharides, disaccharides and GOSs were determined using a CK04S column (Mitsubishi Chemical) on an HPLC (LC-30AD, Shimadzu) equipped with an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD-LTII, Shimadzu). The assay samples were eluted from the column using H2O at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min at 80 °C. For separation and determination of lactose and other disaccharides (DP2), an Asahipak NH2P-40 3E column (Shodex) was used with a gradient of H2O (solvent A) and acetonitrile (solvent B) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min at 30 °C. Sugar concentrations were determined from peak areas. Glucose, galactose, lactose and 4′-galactosyllactose purchased from Wako Chemicals, and tetrasaccharides and larger oligosaccharides prepared as described above, were used as reference compounds for producing standard curves for these assays. Experiments were performed in triplicate.

The UHPLC system was controlled by a personal computer equipped with LabSolutions software operating in a Windows XP. The separation was achieved following the method described by Papetti et al. [18 (link)] using Ascentis Express ES-C18 column (150 × 4.6 mm, 2.7 μm particles; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) with a UHPLC pre-column filter (UltraShield Analytical Scientific Instruments, Richmond, CA) operating at 25.0 ± 0.5°C. The analytes were eluted with a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min using 0.1% formic acid in water (A) and methanol (B) as eluents. The 120 min gradient is described as follows: 0–5 min (90–85% A), 5–13 min (85–80% A), 13–40 min (80% A), 40–65 min (80–70% A), 65–90 min (70–50% A), 90–100 min (50–0% A), 100–105 min (0% A), and 105–110 min (0–90% A); the column was then re-equilibrated with the initial mobile phase for 10 min. The injection volume was 5 μL. The PDA detector was set at 314 and 335 nm to record the peaks, and UV spectra recorded from 215 to 420 nm.

Quantification of Acylcarnitines by Mass Spectrometry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples were analyzed by a modified version of the flow analysis described by Millington and Stevens.21 (link) A Sciex QTRAP 6500 (Waverley, Victoria, Australia) tandem mass spectrometer coupled to a Shimadzu LC-30AD (Sydney, New South Wales, Australia) was used to flow-inject samples using a mobile phase of 50:50 methanol and water at 20 µL/min for 7 minutes. The mass spectrometer used a declustering potential of 150 V, ion spray voltage of 5500 V, and collision energy of 46 to conduct a precursor ion scan of m/z 99.1. The scan was conducted with the turbo spray source at 21°C and recorded as an accumulated spectrum from m/z 200 to 500. Gas settings were set at curtain gas (CUR) of 20, GS1 of 15, and GS2 of 15.
Areas under the peak for each acylcarnitine were calculated using a summation integration method in MultiQuant 3.0 (Waverley, Victoria, Australia). The areas for each acylcarnitine were analyzed as ratios to the internal standard, d3-palmitoylcarnitine, to generate relative concentrations. To account for interexperimental variability, the mean of the control samples was calculated and used to divide the relative concentration of acylcarnitine for each sample within the same experiment. This normalization was conducted for each experiment prior to pooling the data.

The Shimadzu HPLC system (Kyoto, Japan) consisted of an online degasser (DGU-20A), two pumps (LC-30 AD), an autosampler (SIL-30AC), a controller (CBM-20A), and a column oven (CTO-20AC). The chromatographic separation was performed on a Synergi™ hydro-RP C18 column (75 × 2.0 mm, 4 μm) with column temperature maintained at 30°C. An optimized gradient of mobile phase A: 5 mM ammonium formate (pH 6.5) and mobile phase B: 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile was used to elute silmitasertib and ISTD. The flow rate was set at 0.4 ml/min. Two types of gradient elution were employed in this assay. For analyzing human plasma and CSF samples, the gradient elution started with 50% mobile phase B, gradually increased to 80% B in 1.2 min, maintained constant for 3 mins, and then decreased to 50% in 0.3 min, followed by column equilibrium for 1.5 min. For the analysis of brain tissue homogenate, the gradient stated with 30% mobile phase B, reached 80% B in 1.2 min and held this composition for 3 mins, and then return to the initial condition in 0.3 min and held it for 1.5 min. The total analysis time for a single sample was 6 min for both gradients.

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.
