Question
13. For a laboratory project you asked to purify the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) The first step of this project is to prepare the lysis buffer that you will use to extract the enzyme The protocol you are following says the LDH lysis buffer should contain: 25 mM CAPS (a pH buffer) at pH 10 5 mM MgCl2 0.2% Triton X-100 (a detergent) 10 ug/ml pepstatin A (a protease inhibitor) You find the following reagents on the shelves in lab a bottle of CAPS powder; MW is 221.3, pKa is 10.4 a bottle of MgCl2 crystals; MW is 95.2 a bottle of Triton X-100 (this detergent is a liquid in its pure state) and a stock solution of 25 mg/ml pepstatin A You need to make 200 ml of this buffer. Tell how you would make this solution if you were toExplanation / Answer
amount of CAPS buffer
25mM = wt*1000 / 221.3*200
Wt = 1.1065 gm.
amount of MgCl2
5mM =Wt*1000 / 95.2*200
Wt = 95.2 mg
amount of Triton X-100
100 x V1 = 0.2 x 200 ml
V1 = 0.4 ml.
amount of pepstatin A
25000 ug/ml x V1 = 10 ug/ml x 200 ml
V1 = 2/25 = 0.08 ml or 80 ul from stock solution.
