MV portal (without His6 tag) at 2 mg was conjugated to NHS-activated agarose slurry (Pierce), as per the manufacturer’s instructions. The MV portal–conjugated beads were packed into 1-ml disposable syringe and washed with 20 mM Hepes (pH 7.5) and 70 mM KAc buffer. One hundred microliters of SP or CP was applied onto the columns at 0.2 mg/ml, and 250 μl fractions were collected. Ovalbumin at 0.2 mg/ml was used as a negative control for binding to PM or portal ring (PC portal or MV portal) weak-affinity columns. The tryptophan fluorescence emission of the fractions was measured on an AMINCO-Bowman AB2 spectrofluorometer or Horiba FluoroMAX 4 spectrofluorometer at an excitation wavelength of 295 nm and an emission wavelength of 340 nm, with bandpasses of 1 and 8, respectively.

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.
