- Suppose that you are tasked to determine the protein concentration of an unknown protein solution via Bradford assay. You prepared six solutions of bovine serum albumin (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 to each 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 # A595 BSA conc (mg/mL) 0.000 0.158 2 1.125 0.291 2.250 0.372 4 3.375 0.503 5 4.500 6 5.625 0.675 Determine 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.arrow_forwardStandard curves You are setting up a standard curve for lysozyme. You have a stock vial containing 2 mg/ml of lysozyme and you have 2 ml in the vial. You will want to have a minimum of 1 ml of each concentration for the spectrophotometer. How would you proceed? (Saline is added to make the various concentrations). Concentration Am't stock lysozyme or am't of a previous dilution (note which) Amount saline Total volume wanted 1.00 mg/ml 0.75 mg/ml 0.50 mg/ml 0.375 mg/mlarrow_forwardGel Running Buffer is made and kept at 14X concentration for storage. We will need 1.5 L of this solution at a concentration of 1X to run our gels. How would we make this solution?

- What is the function of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in SDS-PAGE? stabilizes the gel matrix, improving resolution during electrophoresis SDS solubilizes proteins to give them uniformly negative charges, so the separation is based purely on size. SDS raises the pH of the gel, separating multiunit proteins into individual subunits. SDS solubilizes proteins to give them uniformly positive charges, so separation is based purely on pH.arrow_forwardThis is a visible spectra between 390-590 nm obtained during the protein separation process of haemoglobin and cytochrome c using CM Sephadex chromatography. I'd like the results shown on the image interpreted. Look for characteristic peaks or patterns that correspond to the absorption properties of these proteins in the visible range.arrow_forwardYou are given an equimolar (0.10 mM) mixture of Ubiquitin protein that is free/pure of any other macromolecules (e.g. nucleic acids) in a pH 7.0 phosphate buffer How can you purify Ubiquitin? Propose a 2-step minimum plan to purify their protein. Basic rules: Affinity chromatography (e.g. His Tag purification) is not an allowed step because these proteins are in their native state (i.e. – do not have a polyhistidine tag). Also, you are not allowed to rely solely on the color of certain proteins (e.g. cytochrome C and GFP) in your characterization/proposal. You are allowed to buffer exchange (i.e. – switch buffers) but try to keep your pH’s in a reasonable range (5.5 – 8.5) or you risk denaturing your protein! Assume you can only separate proteins under 50.0 kDa with a 5.0 kDa difference using SEC. Otherwise, assume proteins greater than 50.0 kDa are unable to be separated. Assume proteins with the same charge (positive or negative) are not easily separated using IEC. Assume all…arrow_forward
- Does this calculation look correct? My goal isto have a target mass of 10 µg of my protein with a total volume of 30 µl. Protein was measured and found to have a concentration of at 308.35 µg/ml Recall, mass = concentration * volume 10 µg = 308.35 µg/ml * V V = 0.01 mg/ 0.30835 mg/mL = 0.032430679 mL = 32.43067942 µL Note: cannot measure this amount; two dilutions required. Dilute by 1/40: measure 2.5 µl of protein at 0.30835 µg/µl and add it to 97.5 diluent to prepare a solution of protein at 7.71 mg/ml. This diluted sample will be used further. Mass = concentration * volume 10 µg = 7.71 mg/ml * V V = 0.01 mg/ 7.71 mg/ml = 1.3 µL Therefore, will measure 1.3 µl of protein at 7.71 mg/ml and add it to 28.7 µl of diluent.arrow_forwardA purified protein sample was used in a reaction, resulting in an activity of 696.7 nmol min-1. The reaction volume was 145.0 µL and the final volume before loading the plate was 1,050 µL. The total reaction time was 4.25 min. The amount of protein used in the reaction was 4.270 µg. Calculate the specific activity of the sample (in nmol min-1 µg-1).arrow_forwardPlease answer the question below and show all your work. You are given a pure protein sample to characterize and provided the following information: Its molar extinction coefficient, ε280, is 0.25 liters micromole^-1 cm^-1 Using a 0.5 cm pathlength cell, you measure the absorbance at 280 nm of a 20- fold dilution of your pure protein in solution (by this, we mean that 50 ul of the protein sample was diluted to a final volume of 1 ml) and find A280 = 0.40. What is the original concentration of the protein before dilution?arrow_forward
