Differentiate both these methods.arrow_forwardIN A BIURET ASSAY TWO PROTEIN SOLUTION CONTAINING 150MG/ML AND 180MG/ML SHOWS THE SIMILAR ABSORBANCE. IS IT POSSIBLE?arrow_forwardPreparing plasmid DNA (double stranded, circular) for Sanger sequencing involves annealing a complementary, single-stranded oligonucleotide DNA primer to one strand of the plasmid template. This is routinely accomplished by heating the plasmid DNA and primer to 90°C and then slowly bringing the temperature down to 25°C. Why does this protocol work? What enzyme is used and what other components are required in the sequencing reaction? How does the Sanger method determine the sequence?arrow_forward
