From [http://www.uni-leipzig.de/~straeter/newsletter/images/letter_0310/thermofluor.pdf]: The experiment is easy to perform and requires no prior knowledge of the protein properties. Every standard real-time PCR machine available in many research labs is suitable to perform this high‐throughput experiment in a short time (1‐2 hours). Only relatively little protein (500 µl of protein at 1‐2 mg/ml for a 96‐well experiment) and a dye (e.g. SYPRO® Orange, Invitrogen) are required. Proteins containing prosthetic groups (e.g. FAD) may not even require an external fluorophore if the intrinsic signal can be used during the Thermofluor experiment. For FAD‐containing proteins this method has been termed ThermoFAD. | ||
