| |
| − | First, we used the vector pGEX-6p-1 to construct our expression plasmid. And then we converted the plasmid constructed to ''E. coli'' DH5α to expand the plasmid largely.<br>

| − | After verification, it was determined that the construction is successful. We converted the plasmid to ''E. coli'' BL21(DE3) for expression and purification.<br>

| |
| − | '''Pre-expression:'''<br>
| |
| − | The bacteria were cultured in 5mL LB liquid medium with ampicillin(100 μg/mL final concentration) in 37℃ overnight.<br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Massive expressing:'''<br>
| |
| − | After taking samples, we transfer them into 1L LB medium and add antibiotic to 100 μg/mL final concentration. Grow them up in 37°C shaking incubator. Grow until an OD 600 nm of 0.8 to 1.2 (roughly 3-4 hours). Induce the culture to express protein by adding 0.3 mM IPTG (isopropylthiogalactoside, MW 238 g/mol) or ~0.1 gram per 1.5 liter flask. Put the liter flasks in 16°C shaking incubator for 16h. Centrifuge your bacteria in 500 mL bottles in the 4°C rotor at 4,000 RPM for 20 mins. Do this in batches until all your culture is spun down saving the cell pastes each time.<br>

| − | '''Anion exchange column:'''<br>
| |
| − | According to the predicted pI of the protein and the pH of the ion-exchange column buffer, firstly select the appropriate ion exchange column (anion exchange column or cation exchange column). The pH of buffer should deviate from the isoelectric point of the protein. Since the isoelectric point of our protein is around 4.7 in theory, we choose buffer pH of 7.4 and use anion exchange column for purification.
| |
| − | The protein is concentrated with a 10KD concentration tube, and then the exchange buffer is used to exchange the protein to the ion-exchange liquid A. Finally, it is concentrated to less than 5ml by centrifuging at 4℃ and 3400rpm for 10 minutes in a high-speed centrifuge to remove insoluble substances and bubbles.
| |
| − | Balance the selected column with liquid A. Through the AKTApure protein purification system, the samples are loaded to the column at a flow rate of 0.5ml/min, and continue washing for 5min. Gradually increase the content of liquid B in the column, change the salt concentration and then change the interaction between the sample and the column, and collect the corresponding eluent according to the position of the peak. Use SDS-PAGE to check the result.<br>

| |
| − | '''Gel filtration chromatography:'''<br>
| |
| − | The collected protein samples are concentrated in a 10 KD concentrating tube at a speed of 3400 rpm and concentrated for a certain time until the sample volume is 500 μl. At the same time, the superdex 200 column is equilibrated with a buffer to balance 1.2 column volumes. The sample is then loaded and 1.5 cylinders are eluted isocratically with buffer. Determine the state of protein aggregation based on the peak position and collect protein samples based on the results of running the gel.<br>

The concentration of CDC-1 was fixed at 10.5 μM and the enzyme concentration was changed within a certain range, and the fluorescence value was measured with a function of reaction time. (a) First, we selected three gradient concentrations (with large intervals) for pre-experiment, and determined the gradient range of the formal experiment through the experimental results. (b) The appropriate enzyme concentration was selected for determination of the gradient, and the reaction curve of gradual rise was obtained.<br>

We took the emission fluorescence at 3.02nm as the maximum emission fluorescence, and took the logarithm value of different NDM-23 enzyme concentrations to make the relationship curve between protein concentration and fluorescence emission rate. When the emittance of the system was 80%, the protein concentration was 1.51nM, that is, EC80 was 1.51nM.<br>
