Absorbance Assay 205 nm - http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~bioslabs/methods/protein/abs205.html

Category: Protein Protocols: Protein Quantitation Concentration Protocols

Absorbance assay at 280 nm. This method is just as convenient as for absorbance at 280 nm. It may be preferred if there is excessive contamination by nucleic acids, since nucleic acids absorb very little radiation at 205 nm. Setting the wavelength is a bit tricky since 205 nm is right on the shoulder of the protein peak. - [Read Absorbance Assay 205 nm]

Absorbance Assay 280 nm - http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~bioslabs/methods/protein/abs280.html

Category: Protein Protocols: Protein Quantitation Concentration Protocols

Absorbance assays are fast and convenient, since no additional reagents or incubations are required. No protein standard need be prepared. The assay does not consume the protein. The relationship of absorbance to protein concentration is linear. Because different proteins and nucleic acids have widely varying absorption characteristics there may be considerable error, especially for unknowns or protein mixtures. - [Read Absorbance Assay 280 nm]

MTT Cell Proliferation Assay Protocol - http://www.atcc.org/pdf/30-1010k.pdf

Category: Cell Biology and Cell Culture: Cell Viability Protocols

The MTT Cell Proliferation Assay measures the cell proliferation rate and conversely, when metabolic events lead to apoptosis or necrosis, the reduction in cell viability. The number of assay steps has been minimized as much as possible to expedite sample processing. The MTT Reagent yields low background absorbance values in the absence of cells. Includes: Determining optimal cell counts, performing an assay, data interpretations and troubleshooting. - [Read MTT Cell Proliferation Assay Protocol]

UV Absorbance 280 nm Protein Determination - http://wolfson.huji.ac.il/purification/Protocols/OD280.html

Category: Protein Protocols: Protein Quantitation Concentration Protocols

UV Absorbance 280 nm Protein Determination. Simple and quick method to accurately quantitate total protein in purified material or approximately quantitate total protein in crude lysates or partial purified material. Quantitation of the amount of protein in a solution is possible in a simple spectrometer. Absorption of radiation in the near UV by proteins depends on the Tyr and Trp content (and to a very small extent on the amount of Phe and disulfide bonds).

Acid Guanidinium Thiocyanate RNA Isolation Phenol Chloroform Extraction

A single step RNA isolation protocol using Phenol Chloroform Extraction and Acid Guanidinium Thiocyanate. This RNA isolation method uses the fact that guanidinium thiocyanate can simultaneously lyse the cells and inactive cellular RNAses during the initial RNA isolation step allow a single step in the method.

Absorption Spectroscopy and Quantification of Filamentous Phage Protocol

Unlike spherical phage, such as T4 and λ, which have roughly equal weight ratios of protein to DNA, filamentous phage have about six times more protein than DNA; the protein therefore contributes substantially to the absorption spectrum.
