Buffer tables

Imidazole-HCl soluble polysaccharides Most of the polysaccharides of this group didn t elute from the Q-Sepharose column with 10 mM buffer (Table 3). The glycosyl composition (Table 4) shows that these polysaccharides are homogalacturonans and ramnogalacturonans with... 

Other types of ester have been studied (Fendler and Fendler, 1975 Bender and Komiyama, 1978 Szejtli, 1982), though in much less detail. Brass and Bender (1973) studied the cleavage of two diaryl carbonates and three diaryl methylphosphonates in basic buffers (Table A5.ll). For the carbonates, reacting with /1-CD, introduction of p-nitro groups increases the acceleration ratio and worsens substrate binding, so that KTs barely alters. More interesting are the results for the phosphonates in that the effects of nitro groups depend on their position and on the CD. 

The choice of proper gel concentration (%T) is, of course, critical to the success of the separation because it heavily influences separation. Too high %T can lead to exclusion of proteins from the gel, and too low %T can decrease sieving (see Figure 8.4). One approach, useful with the McLellan continuous buffers (Table 8.1), is to use relatively large-pore gels (6%T or 7%T) and to alter mobilities with pH. An approach for discontinuous systems is to start with a... 

The time constants measured near 665 and 795 nm at 295 K in PVA film are in good agreement with those measured at 285 K in flowed buffer (Table 1). Even though the kinetics are different at different wavelengths, the temperature dependence in each region appears to be similar the time constant decreases by about a factor of two between 295-285 and 76 K, and is the same at 76 and 5 K. 

The extent to which the immunoaffinity column can be reused depends mainly on the nature of the analyzed samples as well as the stability of the antibody and the support. The most important step is to remove any of the material physically adsorbed to the antibody so that the column may be reused with reproducibility. All that it is required for a column to be reequilibrated is the passage of several volumes of the starting buffer. Table 20.6 presents an outline of commercial column protocols used during analysis of steroid and -agonist residues in urine. Most columns have been shown to last at least 100 runs, provided that the sample is properly defatted and does not contain solid particles (169). 

Note A list of the stock solutions follows the buffer table. 

The experiment should be performed under three conditions with buffer (Table 5.6), without buffer (only water is added) (Table 5.7), and in CaCT solution to investigate the heat stabilization of the enzymes in the presence of Ca2+ ions (Table 5.8). 

O-Nitrophenyl glactoside hydrolysis with /3-galactosidase in the absence and presence of three inhibitors, O-nitrophenyl /S-D-thiogalactoside (ONPTG), maltose, and melibiose, was studied at 25°C in pH 7.5 buffer. Table 17.1 shows the optical densities at 410 nm of the PNP formed, expressed per minute. 

IEF buffer pairs are intended for use as a final purification step when it is desirable to obtain protein preparations that are demonstrably free of carrier ampholytes, such as for use as pharmaceuticals or in sensitive bioassays. With the buffer pairs, it is not necessary to carry out lengthy dialysis or other procedures for ampholyte removal. The correct choice of buffer pair is that combination for which the pi of the protein of interest falls in the middle of the pH gradient (which, of course, means that the pi must be determined beforehand). The desired proportion of the buffers (Table 2), at 100 mM final total concentration, is mixed with the sample solution prior to being placed the separation chamber and the IEF run is conducted according to the instructions of the manufacturer of the chamber. 

When RotoLyte buffer pairs are used to establish the pH, the operation of the Rotofor cell is the same as with carrier ampholytes. The choice of the proper buffer pair requires that the pi of the protein of interest be known. The sample is diluted with water to half the chamber volume and then mixed with an equal volume of the appropriate blend of buffers (Table 2). Refractionation is usually not required with buffer pairs. A single run often gives the protein of interest in the desired degree of purity. 

The choice of buffer depends above all on the required pH value. Then, consideration needs to be given to whether the buffering substance will interfere with the experiment in any way. Cost factors also play a role acetate, phosphate and Tris buffers are cheap, whereas Good s buffers (Table 2-2) are relatively expensive. All buf-... 

Been varies only as a function of the test solution pH if the temperature is constant. It is significant to point out that the potential of modern glass electrodes is a linear function of pH (equation 39). By using a test solution of known pH it is possible to relate the cell potential to hydrogen ion activity of a test solution. This standardization must be done each time a pH meter is used because of subtle changes in the various potentials owing to aging of the electrode. Therefore, the accuracy of a pH determination depends on the accuracy of the standard buffer. Table 1-2... 

If the buffered solution is dilute, this is its hydrogen-ion concentration. Because the activities of ions are affected by other ions, however, there is appreciable deviation from the calculated values in salt solutions as concentrated as 0,1 M, This fact accounts for the small discrepancies beuveen the pH values calculated from equilibrium con status and those gi en in the buffer tables. 

Buffers commonly used in clinical and molecular diagnostic laboratories include acetate, boric acid-borate, carbonate-bicarbonate, citrate diethanolamine, glycine-glycinate, phosphate, phthalate, tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane, and veronal-sodium veronal, and the so-caUed Good buffers (Table 1-15). 

Prepare serial dilutions of the antigen in the wells of a hard microtitre plate (Dyna-tech 223-24) and add to each well an equal volume of antiserum in the appropriate buffer (Table 14.1). Incubate for 3 h at room temperature or 2 h at 37 C (depending on the reactivity of the antibodies at these temperatures). 

For the test, dispense in the antibody-coated wells of a microplate different dilutions of the test sample (diluting buffers Table 14.1), as well as various standards for the calibration curve. Incubate overnight at 4 C or for 2 h at room temperature. 

Pick colonies, corresponding to the positive signal on the film, with a Pasteur pipette and resuspend in 500 p.1 of SM buffer (Table 4.7A, step 4), add a few drops of chloroform and vortex for a few seconds. Spin at 3000 X g for 3 min and collect the supernatants (add a few drops of chloroform). 

Positive plaques are picked with the wide ( wrong ) or narrow end (depending on the resolution of plaques) of a Pasteur pipette and the agarose plugs are added to SM buffer (Table 10.3), 100 jxl of... 

Interestingly, the presence of the second substrate phosphate increases the rate constant of the H/D exchange of ThDP in the holoenzyme of pyruvate oxidase from LactobacUlus plantarum 16-fold compared to that measured in a phosphate-free buffer (Table 16.3). At present, this behaviour of the enzyme observed in the presence of phosphate cannot be interpreted in molecular detail. 

The phosphate buffer system is common in the laboratory in vitro, outside the living body) as well as in living organisms (in vivo). The buffer system based on TRIS [tm(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane] is also widely used in vitro. Other buffers that have come into wide use more recently are zwitterlons, which are compounds that have both a positive charge and a negative charge. Zwitterions are usually considered less likely to interfere with biochemical reactions than some of the earlier buffers (Table 2.8). 

Chromatofocusing (CF) separates proteins according to their isoelectric points. It takes advantage of the pH gradient that forms when an ion exchanger column equilibrated in buffer pH A (start buffer) is eluded with a buffer pH B (elution buffer) (Table 5.4). That is, when A > B.
