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

MicroRNA-204 protects H9C2 cells against hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced injury through regulating SIRT1-mediated autophagy
Ruixia Qiu,Wen Li,Yunhai Liu +2 more
TL;DR: It is first revealed that overexpression of miR-204 has a protective effect against myocardial I/R injury and forced expression of SIRT1 could partly rescue the effects ofmiR- 204 on H/R-induced apoptosis and autophagy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential role of bacterial extracellular polymeric substances as biosorbent material for arsenic bioremediation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an emergent need to reduce extremely high levels of toxic arsenic from drinking contaminated water in order to reduce the carcinogenic effects of arsenic through consumption of contaminated water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functionalized magnetic dextran-spermine nanocarriers for targeted delivery of doxorubicin to breast cancer cells
TL;DR: The MTT and Prussian blue assays demonstrated enhanced and selective uptake of DEX-SP-DOX-mAb by SKBR cell (HER2 overexpressed cells) in comparison with unconjugated nanocarriers due to higher cellular binding.

Elevation of transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) and its downstream mediators in subcutaneous foreign body capsule tissue
Allen G. Li,Matthew J. Quinn,Yasmin Siddiqui,Michael D. Wood,Isaac F. Federiuk,Heather M. Duman,W. Kenneth Ward +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that TGFbeta plays an important role in the FBC formation and inhibition of TGF beta signaling could be a promising strategy in the prevention of FBC Formation, thereby extending the useful life of subcutaneous implants.

Gastrodin ameliorates Parkinson's disease by downregulating connexin 43
Yu Wang,Zhe Wu,Xu Liu,Qunying Fu +3 more
TL;DR: Gastrodin results in the prevention of PD by reducing the expression of C x43 and inhibiting the phosphorylation of Cx43; therefore, it may offer a potential therapeutic alternative for patients with PD.

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.
PatentDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Minimization of variation in the response to different proteins of the Coomassie blue G dye-binding assay for protein.
S.M. Read,D. H. Northcote +1 more
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.
