“…In order to measure the sulfonation of 1-hydroxypyrene, HPLC analysis was performed as reported previously (Reinen 2006). Extracts (50 µl) from cytosolic fractions of M a n u s c r i p t 9 mSULT1E1 incubated with OHP were analyzed for the formation of pyrene 1-sulfate by HPLC (pumps 303 and 305, manometer 805, dynamic mixer 811B and auto-injector 234, manufactured by Gilson, Middleton, USA) using a reversed phase C-18 column (ChromSpher 5 µm, 100 mm x 3 mm, Chrompack, The Netherlands) and a gradient elution with solvent A (5% ACN 10 mM ammonium acetate (pH 5)) and solvent B (90% ACN 10 mM ammonium acetate (pH 5)).…”
