Isolation of Proteins and Bradford Assay Flashcards
Considerations for Blood Protein Isolation
Specificity
Organism Type
Source
Protein location
Fraction of blood
Plasma and RBC
Process to fraction blood
Centrifuge
To prepare plasma for use.
Dilute
To prepare red blood cells for use
Cell Disruption by Osmotic and Detergent lysis
Used to develop osmotic and detergent lysis
KCl and SDS
Another name of Bradford assay
Coomassie Brillant Blue G-250 dye
Primary color of Bradford assay
Greenish brown color
Relationship of Protein concentration and Bradford Color
Increase concentration and more blue
Used to measure color change
Spectrophotometry
Tool used to measure spectrophotometry capable of emitting light 190 - 1100 nm
UV-VIS/NIR Spectrophotometer
Used to determine the absorption of the unknown protein
Standard curve of known protein
