Proteins_ FRACTIONATION, IDENTIFICATION, AND QUANTITATION OF SPECIFIC PROTEINS Flashcards
• Globulins are separated from albumin by salting out, using sodium salt to precipitate globulins
• Globulin: precipitate
• Albumin: supernatant fluid (measured)

Albumin
DYE-BINDING (FOR ALBUMIN)
4 dyes
• Methyl orange
• 2,4’-hydroxyazobenzene-benzoic acid (HABA)
• Bromocresol Green (BCG)
• Bromocresol Purple (BCP)
ALBUMIN

Albumin.
• pH of the solution is adjusted so that albumin is_____ charged.
• Albumin is attracted to and binds to______ dye
• Amount of albumin = absorbance of the______
Dye-binding
positively
anionic dye
albumin-dye complex
DYE-BINDING (FOR ALBUMIN)
• Nonspecific for albumin
• Beta-lipoproteins, alpha-1 and alpha-2 globulins also bind to dye
Methyl Orange
DYE-BINDING (FOR ALBUMIN)
Methyl Orange
• Nonspecific for_____
• (3) also bind to dye
albumin
Beta-lipoproteins, alpha-1 and alpha-2 globulins
DYE-BINDING (FOR ALBUMIN)
• Has low sensitivity but more specific for albumin
• Salicylates, penicillin, conjugated bilirubin, and sulfonamides - interfere with the binding of albumin to HABA
2,4’-hydroxyazobenzene-benzoic acid (HABA)
DYE-BINDING (FOR ALBUMIN)
2,4’-hydroxyazobenzene-benzoic acid (HABA)
• Has low_____ but more_____ for albumin
• (4) - interfere with the binding of albumin to HABA
sensitivity\ specific
Salicylates, penicillin, conjugated bilirubin, and sulfonamides
DYE-BINDING (FOR ALBUMIN)
• Has been reported to overestimate low albumin values (nephrotic syndrome or end-stage renal disease)
Bromocresol Green (BCG)
DYE-BINDING (FOR ALBUMIN)
Bromocresol Green (BCG)
• Hemoglobin binds to BCG (for every 100 mg/dL of Hgb, albumin increased by_____)
• Has been reported to overestimate low albumin values (nephrotic syndrome or end-stage renal disease)
0.1 g/dL
DYE-BINDING (FOR ALBUMIN)
• Alternate dye, binding specifically to albumin
• Not subject to interferences, precise, exhibits excellent correlation with immunodiffusion reference methods
Bromocresol Purple (BCP)
DYE-BINDING (FOR ALBUMIN)
• In renal insufficiency, this method underestimates serum albumin
• Bilirubin interferes with this binding to Albumin

•_____ interferes with BCP binding to Albumin
albumin
interferences

TOTAL GLOBULINS
• Albumin can be calculated by
subtraction of the globulin from Total Protein
• Total Globulin level:
direct colorimetric method using_____
glyoxylic acid
