| Scientific Background | A 15 amino acid tag on the C-terminal tail of alpha synuclein facilitates site-specific covalent biotinylation. Biotinylation of purified alpha synuclein allows for many biological applications, such as monitoring and detection using streptavidin-based conjugates. Stressmarq’s pre-formed fibrils are generated from biotinylated alpha synuclein monomers. |

Sedimentation assay on Cynomolgus Alpha Synuclein Pre-Formed Fibrils: Biotinylated (C-Terminus). Samples were spun down at 15,000 x g, washed, and then spun down again. Fibril samples are prepared in denaturing conditions prior to running on the gel. SDS-PAGE analysis on a 12% Bis-Tris gel shows that the majority of the fibril is insoluble.

Biotinylation assay on purified Cynomolgus Alpha Synuclein Monomers: Biotinylated (C-Terminus). The assay is performed on 123 uM of monomers post-biotinylation (SPR-527), which is the starting material used to generate the Pre-Formed Fibrils (SPR-528), with 100 uM of biotin as a positive control & PBS pH 7.4 as a negative control. Absorbance is measured at 500nm, and results are converted to % of biotinylation.
