Suppose that you are tasked to determine the protein concentration of an unknown protein solution via Bradford assay. You prepared six solutions of bovine serumalbumin (BSA) with different concentrations. The initial concentration of the BSA stock solution is 7.50 mg/mL. Approximately 200 µL of Bradford Reagent was added toeach of these solutions and the absorbance at 595 nm was taken after 5 minutes. See the table below for data on the standard solutions.Standard #A595BSA conc (mg/mL)0.0000.15821.1250.2912.2500.37243.3750.50354.50065.6250.675Determine the protein concentration, in mg/mL, of the unknown solution if its absorbance at 595 nm was 0.248.Note: Final answer format must be x.xx (two decimal places). Round off only in the final answer. Do not round off in the middle of calculation.

An extract of rat liver was prepared by homogenizing 65 g of tissue in 55 mL of buffer (Fraction 1). This extract was assayed for Enzyme X activity. The total activity of Enzyme X in Fraction 1 was 5,650 units and its specific activity was 11.5 units/mg. Fraction1 was then passed down an ion-exchange column and the bound proteins were eluted using increasing concentrations of NaCl. The fractions from the column were assayed for activity of Enzyme X. The fractions containing activity were pooled to give a total volume of 6.5 mL (Fraction 2) The total activity of Enzyme X in Fraction 2 was 4,162 units and the specific activity was 75.5 units/mg. a) What is the % Yield of the ion exchange step? b) What is the Fold purification of the ion exchange step?
You will be given 1 mL of a 2.0 mg/mL solution of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 1 mL of a 2.0 mg/mL solution of bovine gamma globulin (BGG).
