	Protein determination by the Bradford method
		Absorbance assays: [absorbance at 280 nm] [absorbance at 205 nm] [extinction coefficient]
		In assays using 5 ml color reagent prepared in lab, the sensitive range is closer to 5 to 100 µg protein.
		The assay is based on the observation that the absorbance maximum for an acidic solution of Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 shifts from 465 nm to 595 nm when binding to protein occurs.

	Protein Assay
		Protein assays determine the amount of protein in an unknown solution.
		Protein assays enable biochemists to characterize one of the two defining properties of enzymes (the other being activity).
		Proteins are polymers of amino acids, where amino acid units are joined by peptide bonds which have partial double bond character and absorb light.

	Bradford Assay
		The Bradford protein assay (1) is one of several simple methods commonly used to determine the total protein concentration of a sample.
		The protein concentration of a test sample is determined by comparison to that of a series of protein standards known to reproducibly exhibit a linear absorbance profile in this assay.
		Note that a dilution of the protein sample may be required for the resulting absorbance to fall within the linear range of the assay.

	Assay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An assay is a procedure where the concentration of a component part of a mixture is determined.
		There are numerous applications of an assay, such as an antigen capture assay, bioassay, competitive protein binding assay, four-point assay, immunoassay, microbiological assay, stem cell assay, and many others.
		Assays are regularly utilized in scientific research laboratories.

	X-tal protocols: Bradford
		Bradford protein assay is a rapid and sensitive method.
		The protein determination method of Bradford is rapid and sensitive.
		The binding of the dye to protein causes a shift in the absorption maximum of the dye from 470 to 595 nm, and it is the increase in absorption at 595 which is monitored.

	Tp-Blue™ Total Protein Assay
		Previous Coomassie Brilliant Blue G protein assays were based on the Bradford procedure and suffered from premature precipitation of the dye-protein complex due to the presence of ethanol, (or methanol, as used in commercial products). Alcohol was required for the binding of the dye to the protein.
		Assay solutions had to be measured within a few minutes of mixing, before the protein molecules were dye saturated. This instability produces a non-linear absorbance to protein standard curve.
		With the wide protein concentration range that can be measured, the assay is particularly suitable for test sample batches where large variations in the amounts of protein may occur. The ability to use the same dye assay for all of the test samples avoids protein specific problems that can occur between different protein assay systems.

	Bradford protein assay
		Different proteins, however, have widely different extinction coefficients at both 280 and 205 nm, and concentration estimates obtained this way should be viewed with considerable skepticism.

	New Tannin Assay for Winemakers
		The assessment of the PEP value before each tannin assay is critical to maintain accuracy and consistency, and to minimize guesswork when estimating the range of protein concentration needed in the tannin assay.
		Tannin bioassay by a protein precipitation technique serves best to both quantify tannin, and assess its biological activity when both the precipitate (the insoluble tannin bound protein) and the supernatant (the soluble tannin bound protein) are used for tannin assessment.
		Martin and Martin Tannin Assay: A set of 8 to 12 test tubes contained incrementally increased quantities of 50 percent aqueous methanol extracts of each sample so that the BSA would be precipitated to varying degrees for the purpose of subsequent regression analysis of the unprecipitated proteins with Bradford technique.

	Coomassie (Bradford) Protein Assay Kit From Pierce - Biocompare Product Review
		Theoretically, Coomassie dye binds to proteins in an acidic medium, causing a shift in the absorption maximum from 465 nm to 595 nm.
		The color of the dye changes from brown to blue, enabling a good estimation of protein concentration using absorbance calculated from a standard curve (a new curve must be made for each assay because the color change is non-linear).
		To determine the protein concentration of unknown protein extracts, I add between 1 and 10 ul, depending on the observable color change of the assay reagent.

		Since unmigrated proteins are not readily extracted, the problem of allergenic proteins in latex films relates essentially to the proteins that migrate to the surface.
		Protein removal by wet-gel leaching was found not to be very effective because much of these proteins had not yet migrated to the surface when the film was heated briefly to attain the wet-gel state.
		This general procedure of protein purification and concentration is simple and rapid, but the use of PTA may not be fully compatible with the Bradford protein assay.
