absorption Protocols

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]

Serum concentrations of itraconazole should be measured in patients receiving this drug to ensure that therapeutic concentrations are being achieved. This is necessary as drug absorption can be variable, and levels may be lowered by interactions with other drugs. The assay will give an indication of whether suitable blood levels have been achieved. - [Read Bioassay for Determining Itraconazole Levels in Blood]

Category: Chromatography Protocols: Dye Ligand Affinity Chromatography Protocols

Protocol for the optimization of absorption condition for dye-ligand affinity chromotography. Generally, low pH and low ionic strength, absence of phosphate ions, and the presence of divalent metals ions increase the binding of proteins to immobilized triazine dyes. - [Read Optimization of Adsorption Conditions for Dye-Ligand Affinity Chromatography Protocol]

Recombinant proteins engineered to have a polyhistidine tail at either the carboxyl or amino terminus can easily be purified in one step by affinity chromatography on a resin carrying chelated nickel ions.  Chromatography can be carried out in column or batch formats.  After unbound proteins are washed away, the target protein is eluted using imidazole, which typically preserves the antigenic and functional features of the protein. - [Read Purification of Histidine-tagged Proteins by Immobilized Ni2+ Absorption Chromatography Protocol]

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).  Dr. Mario Lebendiker - [Read UV Absorbance 280 nm Protein Determination]
