Common biochemical reagents

1. Proteinase K:

It can hydrolyze and digest proteins, especially histones that bind to DNA. It is stable in urea and SDS. The typical working concentration is 50-100 μg/ml. The recommended reaction buffer is 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 10 mM CaCl 2 .

2.SDS:

3.IPTG

Isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside, commonly used for blue-white spot screening and IPTG-induced protein expression in bacteria, etc. IPTG and lactose are structurally similar, so like lactose, it can be repressed with lactose operon. Protein binding, the spatial conformation of the repressor protein changes, the tetramer depolymerizes into a monomer, loses the ability to specifically bind to the operon, thereby releasing the repressor protein, allowing the subsequent gene to be transcribed and synthesized using lactase enzymes. . Unlike lactose, IPTG is not hydrolyzed by β-galactosidase. Often used with X-GAL for blue and white spot screening. Very powerful inducer, stable without bacterial metabolism

4.X-gal

5.G418:

An antibiotic that is toxic to almost all cells and is the most commonly used selection agent for stable transfection. When the neo gene is integrated into a suitable place in the genome of the eukaryotic cell, the sequence encoded by the neo gene can be transcribed into mRNA, thereby obtaining a high-efficiency expression of the aminoglycoside phosphotransferase of the resistance product, so that the cell can obtain resistance and can be contained therein. G418 is grown in a selective medium. This selection feature of G418 has been widely used in gene transfer, gene knockout, resistance screening, and transgenic animals.

It protects the reducing group on the enzyme molecule, maintains a reducing environment, and stabilizes the activity of the enzyme. It is also a protein denaturant that destroys disulfide bonds at different concentrations and plays different roles.

17. Freund's incomplete adjuvant and Freund's complete adjuvant

Freund's complete adjuvant is a water-in-oil emulsion containing the cell wall components of M. tuberculosis. Adjuvant activity results from the sustained release of the immunogen in the oil droplets and stimulates the local immune response. Freund's incomplete adjuvant is used for primary immune stimulation. In order to reduce side effects, Freund's incomplete adjuvant without M. tuberculosis components is used to enhance the exemption

Complete Adjuvant is a water-in-oil emulsion that is very effective in inducing high titers of antibodies. Freund's complete adjuvant contains the cell wall component of M. tuberculosis, which enhances the antibody response to the antigen.

Does not participate in or interfere with biochemical reactions, the price is more expensive. Often used in immunological and cellular experiments, PIPES is sometimes used to prepare E. coli competent.

23.CTAB

Cetyltriethylammonium bromide, a detergent that dissolves cell membranes and forms a complex with nucleic acids. It is soluble in high salt solutions ((0.7 mol/L NaCl) when reducing solution) When the salt concentration reaches a certain level (0.3 mol/L NaCl), it precipitates from the solution, and the CTAB-nucleic acid complex can be separated from the protein and polysaccharide by centrifugation. Finally, the DNA is precipitated by ethanol or isopropanol. CTAB is dissolved in ethanol or isopropanol. CTAB is the most commonly used method for nucleic acid extraction in laboratories.

twenty four. HEPES

Hydroxyethylpiperidine ethanesulfuric acid, a weak acid buffer, is designed to prevent rapid changes in the pH of the medium. Under the open culture condition, the medium is separated from the 5% CO2 environment, the CO2 gas rapidly escapes, and the pH rises rapidly. If HEPES is added, the pH can be maintained at around 7.0. Generally add HEPES when cloning culture

25. MOPS

27. PMSF

Phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride, Chinese name is phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride. Used to inhibit proteases. PMSF severely damages the respiratory mucosa, eyes and skin, and is fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Once the eyes or skin are in contact with the PMSF, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Clothing contaminated with PMSF should be discarded. PMSF is unstable in aqueous solution. It should be added to the lysis buffer from the stock solution before use. The rate of loss of activity of PMSF in aqueous solution increases with increasing pH and the rate of deactivation at 25 °C is higher than 4 °C. At a pH of 8.0, the half-life of the 20 μmmol/l PMSF aqueous solution was approximately 85 min, indicating that the PMSF solution was adjusted to be alkaline (pH > 8.6) and allowed to be safely discarded after standing at room temperature for several hours.

31. Acridine orange

It is a kind of fluorescent pigment. It has different binding amount to DNA and RNA in cells. It can emit fluorescence of different colors. It has less green fluorescence when combined with DNA, and more orange or orange-red fluorescence when combined with RNA. The dye has membrane permeability and can permeate the cell membrane to stain nuclear DNA and RNA. Under the fluorescence microscope, acridine orange can pass through the normal cell membrane, making the nucleus green or yellow-green uniform fluorescence; in apoptotic cells, due to chromatin condensation or rupture into fragments of different sizes, the formation of small apoptosis body. Acridine orange is stained with dense yellow-green fluorescence or yellow-green debris particles; while necrotic cells yellow fluorescence is weakened or even disappeared. Acridine orange AO is often double-dyed with ethidium bromide EB. Because EB only kills cells to produce orange fluorescence, it can distinguish normal cells, apoptotic cells and necrotic cells. It can also be used as a frameshift. Mutant mutagen can be inserted between two adjacent base pairs, which will increase or delete one base of the DNA strand during DNA replication, resulting in a frameshift mutation. Acridine orange dye is toxic, wear gloves when handling, and be protected from light.

32. EDTA and EGTA

EDTA-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid EDTA is a representative substance of a chelating agent. It can form stable water-soluble complexes with alkali metals, rare earth elements and transition metals. In addition, EDTA can also be used to detoxify harmful radioactive metals from the human body. It is also a treatment agent for water. EGTA--glycol bis(2-aminoethyl)tetraacetic acid can be directly titrated with EGTA when Ca2+ is determined in the presence of .Mg2+. The titration error is less than 0.3%, which improves the selectivity compared with EDTA titration. The stability of the complex formed by the ions is generally worse than the corresponding EDTA complex.
