Molybdic Acid Sodium Salt Dihydrate, ACS Grade is a molybdate source useful in fertilizers. It is also an inhibitor of a variety of receptors and a stabilizer of progesterone and androgen receptors. Molybdic acid sodium salt has been shown to reversibly inhibit estrogen receptor activation.

MOPS is a buffering agent used in biochemistry and molecular biology that was selected and described by Good et al. It is a zwitterionic, morpholinic buffer that is useful for a pH range of 6.5 – 7.9 and commonly used for cell culture media, as a running buffer in electrophoresis, and for protein purification in chromatography. MOPS lacks the ability to form a complex with most metal ions and is recommended for use as a non-coordinating buffer in solutions with metal ions.

MOPS lacks the ability to form a complex with most metal ions and is recommended for use as a non-coordinating buffer in solutions with metal ions. MOPS is often used in buffered culture media for bacteria, yeast, and mammalian cells. MOPS is regarded as an excellent buffer for use in separating RNA in agarose gels. It is recommended to sterilize MOPS buffers by filtration rather than with autoclave due to the unknown identity of yellow degradation products that occur after sterilization of MOPS with autoclave. It is suitable for use in the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay.

MOPS sodium salt can be mixed with MOPS free acid to attain desired pH. Alternatively, MOPS free acid can be titrated with sodium hydroxide to attain desired pH.

MOPSO is a buffering agent used in biochemistry and molecular biology that was selected and described by Good et al. It is a zwitterionic, morpholinic buffer, structurally similar to MOPS, that is useful for a pH range of 6.2 – 7.6. It is commonly used for cell culture media, as a running buffer in electrophoresis, and for protein purification with chromatography. Due to low ionic mobility, MOPSO is regarded as an excellent buffer for use in capillary electrochromatography. MOPSO lacks the ability to form a complex with most metal ions and is recommended for use as a non-coordinating buffer in solutions with metal ions. It does form a complex with some organotin(IV) molecules that are being explored as antitumor agents. MOPSO also interacts with the peptide backbone of bovine serum albumin (BSA) to stabilize BSA against thermal denaturation.

Moxifloxacin is a broad-spectrum fourth generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It targets both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. In addition, it has been shown to combat methicillin-susceptible Staphylococci species as well as penicillin-resistant and penicillin-susceptible Pneumococci and Streptococci species.

4-Methylumbelliferyl beta-D-glucuronide (MUG) is a fluorogenic substrate for beta-glucuronidase (GUS). Upon cleavage, MUG yields blue fluorescence seen under UV light.

This substrate is commonly used for the detection of Escherichia coli through its ability to detect activity of beta-glucuronidase, which is encoded by uidA. GUS activity is tested in minimal medium o-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside (MMO)-MUG.

It is ideal for plant molecular study as a way to examine gene expression under various promoters. And while it works well for measuring activity in plant lysate and leaf disks, it can also work in whole plant assays.

Mupirocin lithium salt is a carboxylic acid isolated from Pseudomonas fluorescens. When at lower concentrations, it exhibits bacteriostatic properties, while exhibiting bactericidal properties at higher concentrations. It targets gram-positive bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Mupirocin lithium salt has been used to study mupirocin resistance in Mycoplasma bacteria.

Myo-Inositol is a vitamin added to promote growth in plant cell culture media. It can also be used to differentiate organisms based on metabolic properties. Myo-inositol is a component of membrane phospholipids.

Chromogenic substrate for beta-D-galactosidase, yielding a green precipitate upon cleavage

Nickel NTA Magnetic Agarose Beads are a rapid and easy small scale purification of histidine-tagged proteins. This resin consists of magnetic agarose derivatized with Nitrilotriacetic (NTA) and provides good properties working in native or denaturing conditions. Magnetic agarose beads provide a convenient and quick method for purification without the need for pipetting or centrifugation. Washing, binding and elution steps will require a magnetic device.

NTA cross-linked resins consist of nitrilotriacetic acid groups ligated by stable ether linkages via a spacer arm. NTA is a tetravalent chelating agent which provides a higher specificity and lower ion leaching than IDA linked resins. NTA resins have also been shown to be more robust in the presence of higher concentrations of EDTA, but may require a higher imidazole concentration for protein elution. This resin is loaded with Ni 2+. The resulting, ready-to-use resin is ideal for rapid purifications of His-tagged proteins.

Noggin belongs to a group of diffusible proteins that bind to ligands of the TGF-β (Transforming Growth Factor) family and regulate their activity by inhibiting their access to signaling receptors. Noggin was originally identified as a BMP4 antagonist whose action is critical for proper formation of the head and other dorsal structures. Noggin has been shown to modulate the activities of other BMPs including BMP2, 7, 13 and 14. Targeted deletion of noggin in mice results in prenatal death and recessive phenotype displaying a severely malformed skeletal system. Transgenic mice overexpressing noggin in mature osteoblasts display impaired osteoblastic differentiation, reduced bone formation, and severe osteoporosis.

NOV is a dynamically expressed, multifunctional matricellular protein of the CCN (CTGF/CYR61/NOV) family encoded by the NOV gene. It is expressed in certain tumors, including Wilm’s tumor and most nephroblastomas. Expression of NOV has been reported to reduce tumorgenicity and reduce proliferation of certain cancer cell lines. It has also been shown to induce angiogenesis in endothelial cells and stimulate cell migration in many mesenchymal cell types. Recombinant murine NOV is a 36.4 kDa protein containing 333 amino acid residues and it shares 92% and 82% amino acid identity with rat and human NOV.

Platelet Factor 4 (PF4) is a non-ELR type of CXC chemokine. PF4 is expressed primarily in megakaryocytes and platelets, but it is also seen in a variety of other cells as well. It is released from alpha granules of activated platelets during platelet aggregation and binds to heparin with high affinity, neutralizing the anticoagulant effect of heparin. Knock-out mice exhibit increased platelets counts and reduced thrombus formation following vascular injury. PF4 binds to the integral membrane protein receptor CXCR3B, an alternatively spliced isoform of CXCR3. PF4 participates in chemotaxis of neutrophils, fibroblasts, and monocytes.

Murine Prolactin (PRL) is a peptide hormone that is secreted most notably from the pituitary gland where it acts in an endocrine fashion, but also from extra pituitary regions where it acts in an autocrine or paracrine fashion. PRL serves as a ligand for the prolactin receptor, PRLR. It is listed as having over 300 separate functions and is involved in more processes than any other pituitary hormone. PRL is most commonly known for its lactation stimulating effect, but also plays a role in reproductive behavior, homeostasis of electrolytes, growth and development, regulation of metabolism, immune system regulation, angiogenesis, and survival of cancer cells. Homozygous female knock-out mice lacking expression of PRL become infertile, whereas homozygous males were fully fertile.

ProBlock™ Gold mammalian protease inhibitor cocktail contains optimized concentrations of various mammalian protease inhibitors, which provide excellent inhibition of protease activities during protein purification from mammalian cells and tissues. The cocktail contains both reversible and irreversible protease inhibitors to inhibit serine, cysteine and specific inhibitors for mammalian proteases, such as aminopeptidases. A 1X concentration of ProBlock™ Gold Mammalian inhibits over 90% of protease activities.

Some proteins require divalent cations (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺ or Mn²⁺) for their biological activity and the presence of chelating agents may be detrimental to the protein’s activity. Chelators, such as EDTA, inhibit the purification of proteins by immobilized metal affinity chromatography.

ProBlock™ Gold Mammalian is supplied with additional, optional EDTA and 1,10-Phenanthroline monohydrate which are provided for optimal inhibition of metalloproteases and may be added in the extraction buffer or lysate as needed.
