Publisher Summary This chapter discusses various methods of estimating protein concentration. Absorption spectroscopy involves the absorption of a photon by an electron. Only those photons with a certain energy level can be absorbed as defined by the difference in energy between the orbital of the unexcited electron and a higher energy orbital. The peptide bond absorbs photons below 210 nm. Because of the large number of peptide bonds in a protein, this is a highly sensitive area of the protein spectrum. Although protein conformation and some absorption by tryptophan and tyrosine residues occurs in this region, less variability between proteins is observed than at 280 nm. There is a need to avoid storing buffers in plastic containers because some plastics leach plasticizers, which absorb at ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths. Detergents can also be troublesome because many absorb UV light. If the buffer or protein solution is cold, the outside of the cuvette may need to be wiped between each reading with a lint-free wiper and the readings should be made quickly after placing the cold solution into the cuvette, because atmospheric moisture may condense on the outside of the cuvette producing an erroneously high reading.read more

Modulation of transglutaminase 2 activity in H9c2 cells by protein kinase A and protein kinase C signalling
TL;DR: Data have shown TG2 activity to be stimulated via PKA and PKC-dependent signalling pathways in H9c2 cells and suggest a role for TG2 in cytoprotection-induced via these two protein kinases.

Proteins, lethality and in vivo effects of Iurus dufoureius asiaticus scorpion venom
TL;DR: This study determined the electrophoretic protein pattern of the venom of I. asiaticus from Mugla province to be between 29 and 116 kDa by SDS-PAGE, and showed that the venom was not lethal on s.c.v. injection, but it was lethal on i.d. c.c., which may imply that the scorpion is of little danger to humans.

Measurement of protein using bicinchoninic acid
TL;DR: This new method maintains the high sensitivity and low protein-to-protein variation associated with the Lowry technique and demonstrates a greater tolerance of the bicinchoninate reagent toward such commonly encountered interferences as nonionic detergents and simple buffer salts.

A modification of the Lowry procedure to simplify protein determination in membrane and lipoprotein samples
TL;DR: The original Lowry method of protein determination has been modified by the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate in the alkali reagent and an increase in the amount of copper tartrate reagent to be used with membrane and lipoprotein preparations without prior solubilization or lipid extraction.
