S of bution with the former, which distinctive buffers. We identified that dMagR-his bound to magIMAC-purified dMagR-his in probably final results from dMagR-bound iron in BL21-dMagR cells.

This higher intracellular content was also visible as a black rown coloration of BL21-dMagR cell biomass and its supernatant after cell disruption (Figure 2b). Quantification by SDS-PAGE densitometry (non-MagR impurities at Bomedemstat MedChemExpress around 14 kDa were excluded based on a respective unfavorable control) yielded an approximate intracellular, soluble dMagR concentration of 54 mg g-1 dry cell weight (DCW) or five.12 pg cell-1 (1 cell 9.5 10-13 g DCW [14]) equivalent to two.20 106 dMagR molecules cell-1. Having said that, putting a strong neodymium magnet (50 50 12.5 mm) near the BL21-dMagR biomass suspension at room temperature resulted in no observable movement of cells towards the magnet. We additional analyzed magnetization behavior with lyophilized cells by superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry. Determined by the vague expertise about MagR and its applicability in cells to interact with magnetic fields at ambient circumstances [8,9], we hypothesized that measurements at low temperatures of only 3.6, 20 and 120 K 1.
