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.

Glomalin-Related Soil Protein Reflects the Heterogeneity of Substrate and Vegetation in the campo rupestre Ecosystem

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP), produced by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), varies in relation to substrate and plant community in the campo rupestre ecosystem.

A Flowthrough Assay for Rapid Bedside Stratification of Bloodstream Bacterial Infection in Critically Ill Patients: a Pilot Study.

TL;DR: The high sensitivity, low cost, and simple bedside utility of the assay may aid in better sepsis management apparently at the presymptomatic stage, lowering empirical therapy, medical costs, antimicrobial resistance, and mortality.

Molecular cloning and functional characterization of a Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase from jellyfish Cyanea capillata.

TL;DR: The results suggest that CcSOD1 protein may play an important role in protecting jellyfish from oxidative damage and can serve as a new resource for antioxidant products.
Journal ArticleDOI

A high quality method for hemolymph collection from honeybee larvae.

TL;DR: The present work established a high quality and easily reproducible method of extracting hemolymph from honeybee larvae (Apis mellifera), the extraction with ophthalmic scissors, and turbidity analyses of the samples using a turbidimeter showed that the use of ophthalic scissors provided the clearest samples and was free from contamination.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minimization of variation in the response to different proteins of the Coomassie blue G dye-binding assay for protein.

TL;DR: Modifications to the Coomassie blue G dye-binding assay for protein are described which remove much of the variation previously observed in the response of this assay to different proteins.
