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.

Recovery of microalgae from its broth solution using kaolin based tubular ceramic membranes prepared with different binders

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of tubular ceramic membranes prepared with different organic additives such as guar gum (GG), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and its application in the recovery of microalgae from its broth solution was evaluated.

SGP-2, an acidic polysaccharide from Sarcandra glabra, inhibits proliferation and migration of human osteosarcoma cells

TL;DR: SGP-2 inhibits the migratory capacity of MG-63 cells accompanied with the inhibition of receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB).

Waterlogging induced oxidative stress and the mortality of the Antarctic plant, Deschampsia antarctica

TL;DR: In this paper, the mortality and the oxidative damages of Deschampsia antarctica in response to waterlogging stress were investigated and the changes in the density of D. antarsia tuft at two different sites over three years.

Integration of proteomic and genomic approaches to dissect seed germination vigor in Brassica napus seeds differing in oil content.

TL;DR: Thirty-one unique genes were shown to be significantly changed during germination between the seeds with high and low oil content, and thirteen of these genes were located within the confidence interval of germination-related quantitative trait locus (QTLs), which might play an important role in regulating seed germination vigor.

The effect of cold acclimation on active ion transport in cricket ionoregulatory tissues

TL;DR: An overall reduction, rather than enhancement of active transport in the Malpighian tubules allows crickets to maintain hemolymph water balance during cold exposure, and increased Malpightian tubule NKA activity may help to defend and/or re-establish ion homeostasis.

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.
