Abstract
A rapid and accurate method for the estimation of protein concentration is essential in many fields of protein study. The Lowry method ( Chapter 1 in vol. 1 of this series) has been widely used, but is susceptible to interference from a wide range of compounds commonly present in biological extracts. Although interference can be avoided by trichloracetic acid precipitation of the protein prior to assay, this lengthens the procedure.

Porcine myofibrillar protein gel with edible insect protein: Effect of pH-shifting

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of pH-shifted isolated insect proteins (IIP) on a myofibrillar protein (MP) gel was studied, and pH-modified IIP showed high thermal stability; viscosity improved with the addition of IIP and pH shift.

Effects of ocean acidification on the growth and biochemical composition of a green alga (Ulva fasciata) and its associated microbiota.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that ocean acidification at 550 µatm might impose noticeable effects on growth, protein, pigments, and protein profile of U. fasciata, which could be a good source for fish farming.

Effect of captopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, on morphine analgesia and tolerance in rats, and elucidating the inflammation and endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway in this effect.

TL;DR: Captopril has antinociceptive properties, increasing analgesic effect of morphine, and preventing tolerance development, which may occur by suppressing inflammation and ER-stress pathways.

A rapid and sensitive method for the quantitation of microgram quantities of protein utilizing the principle of protein-dye binding

TL;DR: This assay is very reproducible and rapid with the dye binding process virtually complete in approximately 2 min with good color stability for 1 hr with little or no interference from cations such as sodium or potassium nor from carbohydrates such as sucrose.

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 rapid, sensitive, and versatile assay for protein using Coomassie brilliant blue G250

TL;DR: An assay for proteins in solution that depends on the conversion of Coomassie brilliant blue G250 in dilute acid from a brownish-orange to an intense blue color has high reproducibility and can detect less than 1.0 μg of albumin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Refinement of the coomassie blue method of protein quantitation. A simple and linear spectrophotometric assay for less than or equal to 0.5 to 50 microgram of protein.

TL;DR: The Coomassie brilliant blue G assay for proteins described by Bradford (1976) (Anal Biochem72, 248) was reexamined and it was found that the extinction coefficient of the dye-protein complex solution remained constant over the protein concentration range of 08 to 10 μg/ml of solution.
