Objective: The main objective for this lab was to use the Bradford and DC Protein Assay in order to determine our concentration of E. Coli BL21(DE3) lysate. Principle of Methods: To accomplish this objective‚ each pair of lab partners received an E. Coli lysate sample which we had to thaw by warming it with our hands and centrifuge it. We extracted a total of 12 samples with known concentrations of bovine serum albumin and 10 samples of different amounts of lysate put into them. Using the different
