Abstract
Protocol for labeling a purified protein with an NHS ester fluorescent dye.
Materials
-ATTO565 NHS ester (Sigma Cat. #72464)
-Purifiedunlabeled protein
-G-25 desalting column (Cytiva Cat. #28918007)
-Labeling buffer: 50mM HEPES pH8.0, 150mM NaCl, 2mM TCEP
-Quench buffer: 50mM Tris pH 8.0, 150mM NaCl, 2mM TCEP
-Nanodrop spectrophotometer
Troubleshooting
Mix 40μM unlabeled protein with 80μM ATTO 565 NHS ester dye in labeling buffer.
Incubate 1 hr at room temperature.
Buffer exchange the reaction into quench buffer over a pre-equilibrated G-25 desalting
column.
Assess labeling efficiency by measuring the ratio of absorbance at 280 and 564 nm,
correcting for dye absorbance at 280nm, using a Nanodrop spectrophotometer
