NativePAGE Solutions

Running Buffer

The final concentration of the 1X buffer is given below:
50 mM BisTris
50 mM Tricine
pH 6.8
1. To prepare 1000 mL of NativePAGETM Running Buffer (20X), dissolve the following reagents in 700 mL ultrapure water:
BisTris 209.2 g
Tricine 179.2 g
2. Mix well and adjust the volume to 1000 mL with ultrapure water.
3. Store at room temperature. The buffer is stable for 6 months when stored at room temperature.
4. For electrophoresis, dilute this buffer to 1X with water (page 13).

When made used 1/4 BisTris and Tricine in 500mL water to make a 10X solution.

Notes
  • For agar plates, add 15 g agar prior to autoclaving
  • For ampicillin plates, add 1 mL sterile 50 mg/mL ampicillin after cooling to 50°C

    • Make to 100 mL and autoclave.
  • Cool to 55 °C or less, combine, and add any antibiotics desired.
Notes
  • Store and autoclave nutrient and buffer solutions separately
  • Combine only immediately prior to usage

Other Solutions

Resuspension Buffer-DesD

For lysing cells
Final Concentrations:

    • 20 mM Tris-HCl
    • 200 mM NaCl
    • 10 mM imidazole
    • 10% glycerol
    • pH 8.0
    • 5 mM TCEP

For 1000mL

    • 20 mL 1M Tris-HCl
    • 11.685 g NaCl
    • 0.6808 g imidazole
    • 100 mL glycerol
    • 1.43325 g TCEP
    • Bring to 800mL volume with DI water and adjust pH with HCl at that time, then bring to 1 L
Notes
  • The addition of 10% glycerol was made on June 1, 2012 after significant protein degradation in both DesC and DesD purification's was observed. FPLC runs prior to this date did not include any glycerol.
  • Binding Buffer is an alternate name for resuspension buffer.
  • In August, 2016, ITC experiments showed that DesD was not maximally active without 5 mM TCEP or other reducing agent.

Elution Buffer-DesD

For FPLC
Final Concentrations:

    • 20 mM Tris-Cl pH 8.0
    • 10% Glycerol
    • 200 mM NaCl
    • 1 M Imidazole
    • 5 mM TCEP

Final Buffer(Desalting Buffer)-DesD

Final Preparation:

    • 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0
    • 200 mM NaCl
    • 10% glycerol (For sizing column)
    • 5 mM TCEP


Sizing Column Buffer

Recipe:

    • 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0
    • 200 mM NaCl
    • 1 mm TCEP
    • 5% glycerol

For 1 Liter:

    • 20 mL of 1 M Tris pH 8.0
    • 11.685 g NaCl
    • 50 mL glycerol
    • 3.145 mL of 0.318 M TCEP
Notes

-5% glycerol reduces the pressure within the column, to not load higher concentrations of glycerol. If protein solubility becomes an issue, add more glycerol to the protein once fractions elute
-TCEP is a reducing agent necessary for DesC to elute in its monomeric state.

IPTG


For 0.5 mM IPTG: 0.119 g/L
For a 500 mM stock, combine 0.119 g/mL and aloquot out in mL stocks. Store frozen at -20C

    • 57.1 ml glacial acid acid
    • 100 mL of 0.5 M EDTA (pH 8.0)


adjust the solution to a final volume of 1 L, without further adjustment of pH.

ITC Buffer


DesD binding and kinetics buffer (do not use Tris)
Grams provided are for 1L

    • 100mM Hepes pH 7.5 (26.03g)
    • 200mM NaCl (11.69g)
    • 5mM TCEP (1.43g)
    • 25% Glycerol (final) (250 mL)
    • 5mM MgCl2 (can increase to 10mM) (3.06g)


FslA binding and kinetics buffer (do not use Tris)

    • 100mM Ches pH 9.0
    • 200mM NaCl
    • 5mM TCEP
    • 25% Glycerol (final)


For desalting in the FPLC, a maximum of 10% glycerol should be used to avoid straining the pumps. Dialyzing overnight into a higher %gly will have a concentrating effect on your sample, though, so dialyze into 25% buffer.
