TLDR
A rapid and accurate method for the estimation of protein concentration is essential in many fields of protein study, but is susceptible to interference from a wide range of compounds commonly present in biological extracts.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.read more

PSC833, cyclosporine analogue, downregulates MDR1 expression by activating JNK/c-Jun/AP-1 and suppressing NF-κB
Hyun Bark,Cheol-Hee Choi +1 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that PSC833 not only sensitizes SK-MES-1/DX1000 cells to doxorubicin by enhancing drug accumulation, but also downregulates MDR1 expression by activating JNK/c-Jun/AP-1 and suppressing NF-κB.

A thermotolerant and cold-active mannan endo-1,4-β-mannosidase from Aspergillus niger CBS 513.88: Constitutive overexpression and high-density fermentation in Pichia pastoris
Wei Zhao,Jia Zheng,Hongbo Zhou +2 more
TL;DR: The mannan endo-1,4-β-mannosidase gene man26A from Aspergillus niger CBS 513.88 was optimized according to the codon usage bias in Pichia pastoris and synthesized by splicing overlap extension PCR and successfully expressed in P. pastoris using constitutive expression vector pGAPzαA.

Characterization and anti-tumor activity of exopolysaccharide produced by Lactobacillus kefiri isolated from Chinese kefir grains
Muhammad Shahid Riaz Rajoka,Hafiza Mahreen Mehwish,Huiyan Fang,Arshad Ahmed Padhiar,Xierong Zeng,Mohsin Khurshid,Zhendan He,Liqing Zhao +7 more
TL;DR: The present results suggested that the exopolysaccharide from Lactobacillus kefiri MSR101 is not only used in the functional food product but also considered as a topical medication due to their effectiveness against colon cancer.

Standardized protocol to evaluate pollen polypeptides as bee food source
TL;DR: Results show the high variability in content of pollen polypeptides and suggest that the main part of the proteinaceous nitrogen is from oligopeptides, and highlight that hand-collected pollen is a better matrice than pollen loads to estimate the polypePTides of pollen as bee food source.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accurate and efficient amino acid analysis for protein quantification using hydrophilic interaction chromatography coupled tandem mass spectrometry
TL;DR: A robust method is described for high-throughput protein quantification and amino acid compositional analysis that will have broad applicability and recent advances in chromatographic phases and LC–MS/MS based methods can minimize difficulties in analysis and improve protein quantitation.

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.
