Bradford protein assay:
Protein Concentration
(mg/mL)
Bradford
Absorbance
Average
0.7 1.43 1.48 1.45
0.5 1.32 1.30 1.31
0.3 1.05 1.01 1.03
0.2 0.77 0.898 .834
0.1 0
.45 0.49 .47
BSA (0.3) 0.899 0.95 0.9245
Graph:
Here assume that in the horizontal axis 1 unit in graph paper is 0.1 mg/mL concentration.
And on the vertical axis 2 unit equals to absorbance 1.
Calculate the average of absorbance for each concentration.
Putting the absorbance value for each concentration on graph paper plot the curve.Red dot is for
absorbance of BSA.
Here the curve is not straight line,slight curved.
Lowry ABS assay:
Concentration(mg/mL)
Lowry ABS
Average
0.7 0.615 0.422 .5185
0.5 0.436 0.353 0.3945
0.3 0.342 0.255 0.2985
0.2 0.187 0.196 0.1915
0.1 0.108 0.105 0.1065
BSA (0.3) 0.488 0.482 0.485
Here assume that in the horizontal axis 1 unit in graph paper is 0.1 mg/mL concentration.
And on the vertical axis 1 unit equals to absorbance 0.1.
Calculate the average of absorbance for each concentration.
Putting the absorbance value for each concentration on graph paper plot the curve.Red dot is the
absorbance of BSA.
Here the curve is slightly curved.
Biuret protein assay
Protein Conc.
(mg/mL) Biuret ABS
Average
6 0.203 0.202 0.2025
4 0.136 0.138 0.137
2 0.071 0.073 0.072
1 0.034 0.032 0.033
BSA (1) 0.024 0.028 0.026
Graph:
Here assume that in the horizontal axis 1 unit in graph paper is 1 mg/mL concentration.
And on the vertical axis 2 unit equals to absorbance 0.1.
Calculate the average of absorbance for each concentration.
Putting the absorbance value for each concentration on graph paper plot the curve.Red dot is the
absorbance of BSA.
Here the curve is a straight line.
