Description
In respiratory assays for cytochrome c oxidase activity (Complex IV, CIV), ascorbate is added as regenerating system to maintain TMPD in a reduced state. It has to be titrated into the respiration medium prior to the addition of TMPD, otherwise the autoxidation reaction velocity is permanently elevated.
Abbreviation: As
Reference: MiPNet06.06
Application in HRR
- As: Ascorbate ((+)-Sodium L-ascorbate; C6H7NaO6), Sigma-Aldrich: A7631, store at RT, CAS: 134-03-2, M = 198.11 gยทmol-1
- Caution: Solutions of ascorbic acid are rapidly oxidized in air and in alkaline media; the compound should be protected from air and light. See 'ascorbid acid' on PubChem -->
- Preparation of 800 mM stock solution (dissolved in H2O) for 2-mL O2k-chamber:
- Weigh 792.4 mg of ascorbate sodium salt and dissolve in 3 mL H2O
- To prevent autoxidation, adjust pH to approx. 6 with 1 M HCl (approx. 85 ยตL).
- Adjust final volume to 5 mL and divide into 0.2 mL portions in dark vials.
- Store frozen at -20 ยฐC.
- ยปO2k manual titrations: MiPNet09.12
- Titration volume (2-mL O2k-chamber): 5 ยตL using a 25 ยตL Hamilton syringe.
- Final concentration: 2 mM.
- Preparation of 1000 mM stock solution (dissolved in H2O) for 0.5-mL O2k-chamber:
- Weigh 990.5 mg of ascorbate sodium salt and dissolve in 3 mL H2O
- To prevent autoxidation, adjust pH to approx. 6 with 1 M HCl.
- Adjust final volume to 5 mL and divide into 0.2 mL portions in dark vials.
- Store frozen at -20 ยฐC.
- ยปO2k manual titrations: MiPNet09.12
- Titration volume (0.5-mL O2k-chamber): 1 ยตL using a 10 ยตL Hamilton syringe.
- Final concentration: 2 mM.
