A Fluorescence Assay for Leucine Zipper Dimerization: Avoiding Unintended Consequences of Fluorophore Attachment
Formation of R-helical coiled-coil dimers represents one of the simplest examples of a specific protein-protein interaction. This dimerization mode is commonly observed among transcription regulator proteins, where the process is referred to as leucine zipper formation. Inhibitors of leucine zipper dimerization would allow one to control gene expression. As a first step toward identifying such ...
متن کاملFluorescence microscopy--avoiding the pitfalls.
There was an error published in J. Cell Sci. 120, 1703-1705. On p. 1704, in the section ‘Image acquisition’, line 6 should read ‘all four pixels in a 2 2 square are summed into a single pixel’. For clarification, 2 2 binned pixels are twice the height and twice the width of the original pixel, but the pixel area is four times larger; similarly, for a 4 4 binned image the pixel height and width ...
متن کاملA new assay for diaphorase activity in reagent formulations, based on the reduction of thiazolyl blue.
This new assay procedure for diaphorase eliminates problems of high blank rates and nonlinear kinetics associated with other methods. The dye thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide is reduced in the presence of NADH and diaphorase to yield a colored formazan, which as maximum absorbance at 560 nm.
متن کاملA mechanism-based fluorescence transfer assay for examining ketosynthase selectivity.
Since their discovery, polyketide synthases have received massive attention from researchers hoping to harness their potential as a platform for generating new and improved therapeutics. Despite significant strides toward this end, inherent specificities within the enzymes responsible for polyketide production have severely limited these efforts. We have developed a mechanism-based, fluorescenc...
متن کاملRapid fluorescence screening assay for tetracyclines in chicken muscle.
A simple, rapid fluorescence assay was developed for screening tetracyclines in chicken muscle at the U.S. tolerance level (2 mg/kg). The method requires only a homogenization of the tissue in acetonitrile-ammonium hydroxide, centrifugation, addition of Mg+2, and another centrifugation before fluorescence of the supernatant is measured at 505 nm (excitation at 385 nm). Comparison of the fluores...
