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.

Mitochondria-mediated apoptosis was induced by oleuropein in H1299 cells involving activation of p38 MAP kinase.

TL;DR: Results illustrated that oleuropein‐induced apoptosis via mitochondrial apoptotic cascade was activated by the p38 MAPK signaling pathway in H1299 cells, demonstrating potential application value in the treatment of lung cancer.

Immobilized Burkholderia cepacia Lipase on pH-Responsive Pullulan Derivatives with Improved Enantioselectivity in Chiral Resolution

TL;DR: It was found that the enlarged spherical surface of the particle in low pH values probably led to high immobilized efficiency, resulting in the improvement of enantioselectivity activity in chiral resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improvement in ligninolytic activity of Phanerochaete chrysosporium cultures by glucose oxidase

TL;DR: Neither H2O2 nor gluconic acid produced by GOx was responsible for improvement of peroxidase activity in nitrogen-limited cultures, and the new findings could be useful for improving the yield of per oxidase enzymes for degradation of a broad range of man-made aromatic compounds.

Testicular toxicity and reproductive performance of streptozotocin-induced diabetic male rats: the ameliorating role of silymarin as an antioxidant

TL;DR: The protective potential of SMN against oxidative stress in STZ-induced testicular toxicity and its potential to improve fertility in diabetic rats makes it a potential candidate to reverse the toxic effect of diabetes on the testis by herbal antioxidants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proteasome mediated degradation of CDC25C and Cyclin B1 in Demethoxycurcumin treated human glioma U87 MG cells to trigger G2/M cell cycle arrest.

TL;DR: This is the first study demonstrating CDC25C and Cyclin B1 proteins could be used as potential target for anticancer therapy and DMC may be explored as new therapeutic agent in the cure of Glioblastoma (GBM).

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.
