Steps
Aggregation
Remove monomer stock from -80°C
and thaw On ice
.
Dilute stock to desired concentration (typically 5
) to a final volume of 300µL
in autoclaved2mL
centrifuge tubes.
Set thermocycler for continuous shaking (1000rpm,37°C,0h 0m 0s
).
Install 2mL
plate.
Run PBS and Protein samples. Take 2µL
aliquot at 0 hr time point. Run ThioT Assay.
Take 2µL
aliquots twice per day for up to 120h 0m 0s
( 72 hours - 96 hours may be sufficient).
Check ThioT Fluorescence.
Aliquot and store at -80°C
.
ThioT Assay
Prepare ThioT stock mixture (8µg
ThioT in 10µL
milliQ H2O).
Prepare working ThioT mixture, 20µL
stock into 1mL
PBS.
Dispense 200µL
working solution into each 2µL
aliquot.
Dispense 200µL
per sample into 96-well, black, corning glass-bottomed plate.
Read Fluorescence Intensity (Ex 450 +/-10; Em 490 +/- 10).
