    Study Notes

    Phenol Red Urease Detection Assay (PRUDA)

    • The procedure involves pipetting 10 μL of positive control (urease), negative control (gel mobile buffer), and negative control (testing buffer) into a 96-well plate.
    • 10 μL of protein fractions are added to columns 3-10, and 150 μL of testing buffer is added to all wells.
    • The plate is incubated at 37°C for 10 minutes and read at 595 nm.

    SDS-PAGE Sample Preparation

    • A sample buffer is added to 50 μg of protein, and the mixture is heated at 100°C for 5 minutes.
    • The sample is then stored at -20°C.

    Phenol-Hypochlorite Urease Assay of IEX Pool

    • 6 polystyrene cuvettes are set up with 1.25 mL of reagent A and 10 μL of E (or purification product).
    • The reaction is started by adding 200 μL of urease assay buffer, and the mixture is incubated at 56°C for 6 minutes.
    • The absorbance is read at 637 nm.

    Purification Data Analysis

    • Specific activity is calculated as total activity (μmol/min) divided by total protein (mg).
    • Fold purification is calculated as specific activity at a particular step divided by specific activity of the initial step.
    • Yield is calculated as total activity at a particular step divided by total activity of the initial step.

    Research Findings Reporting

    • Research findings can be reported through different modes of dissemination, including articles, posters, and presentations.
    • A typical research article structure includes a literature review, problem statement, proposed solution, and impact of the solution.
