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) | |||
