Table 2. Reagents for preparing S30A and S30B wash buffers, adapted from Kieser et al 45.

Reagent Concentration Amount Additional Notes
HEPES 1 M 0.1 L Adjust pH to 7.5 with 5M KOH
MgCl2 1 M 0.1 L
NH4Cl 4 M 0.5 L Takes time to dissolve (endothermic). Use a stir bar and let equilibrate to room temperature.
ddH2O for S30A 55.5 M 730 mL For S30A.
ddH2O for S30B 55.5 M 927.5 mL ForS30B.
DTT 1 M 5 mL Make fresh on the day of use and keep on ice.
The above reagents are required to prepare 1L of the S30A and S30B buffers. Dissolve all components fully in ddH2O. Autoclave separately. We recommend using a pen to mark the side of container (Duran flask)
