NAD+/NADH Assay Kit (Z5030037)
Ultrasens itive Colorimetric Determination of NAD+/NADH at 565 nm
DESCRIPTION
Transfer 40 mL standards into w el s of a clear flat-bottom 96-w el Pyr idine nuc leotides play an important role in metabolis m and, thus, ther e is continual interest in monitoring their concentration Samples. Add 40 mL sample per w el in separate w el s. levels. Quantitative determination of NAD+/NADH has applications in 3. Reagent Preparation. For each w el of reaction, prepare Working research pertaining to energy transformation and redox state of cel s Reagent by mixing 60 mL Assay Buffer, 1 mL Enzyme A, 1 mL Enzyme B, 14 mL Lactate and 14 mL MTT.

Subtract OD0 from OD15 for the standard and sample This assay is highly specific for NAD+/NADH and w ith minimal w el s. Use the DOD values to determine sample NAD/NADH interference (<1%) by NADP+/NADPH. Our assay is a convenient method to measure NAD, NADH and their ratio. Note: If the sample DOD values are higher than the DOD value for the APPLICATIONS

1. Sample Preparation. For tissues w eigh ~20 mg tissue for each sample, w ash w ith cold PBS. For cel samples, w ash cel s w ith cold PBS and pellet ~105 cel s for each sample. Homogenize samples (either tissue or cel s) in a 1.5 mL Eppindorf tube w ith either 100 mL NAD extraction buffer for NAD determination or 100 mL NADH extraction buffer for NADH determination. Heat extracts at 60°C for 5 min and then add 20 mL Assay Buffer and 100 mL of the opposite extraction buffer to neutralize the extracts. Briefly vortex and spin [Pyridine Nucle otide ] (mM )

Woher kommt die Fasnacht ? Lärmiges Treiben, Guggenmusiken, verbrannte Bööggen und ausgelassene Stimmung: Dies alles und noch viel mehr ist Fasnacht, so wie wir sie kennen. Doch kaum einer weiss, wieso wir jedes Jahr dieses Fest so feiern. Auf der Such nach den Ursprüngen stösst man bis in das alte Ägypten vor. Eigentlich verdanken wir die Fasnacht dem altägyptischen Sonnengott Ra.

Endophytes in turf-type perennial ryegrass Endophytes are naturally-occurring fungi that live inside various plant hosts, ranging from trees to grasses. In many cases the relationship has existed between the fungus and the plant for millions of years, and is mutually beneficial (i.e. symbiotic). The fungus derives its nutrition from the grass, and in return the fungus produces a range of a
