In vitro translation was performed using the TNT Quick Coupled Transcription/Translation Systems (Promega) and the EASY-TAG EXPRESS Protein labeling mix [35S] (PerkinElmer) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Translated proteins were subjected to immunoprecipitation using the anti-insulin monoclonal antibody to separate them from 35S-methionine and 35S-cysteine. The immunoprecipitates were analyzed using SDS-PAGE (15 or 16% gel). Radiolabeled proteins were visualized using an FLA-3000G FluoroImage analyzer (Fuji Film).

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.
