An assay is an investigative (analytic) procedure in laboratory medicine‚ pharmacology‚ environmental biology‚ and molecular biology for qualitatively assessing or quantitatively measuring the presence or amount or the functional activity of a target entity (the analyte)‚ which can be a drug or biochemical substance or a cell in an organism or organic sample.[1][2] The measured entity is generally called the analyte‚ or the measurand or the target of the assay. The assay usually aims to measure an

Method • Methodology is performed through 3 successive days: First Day: Trypan Blue cell viability assay: Description Trypan blue staining is a simple way to evaluate cell membrane integrity (and thus assume cell proliferation or death) but the method is not sensitive and cannot be adapted for high through put screening. Short 96 well assay: EACH condition should be done in triplicate or more. Steps 1. Trypsinize one T-25 flask and add 5 ml of complete media to trypsinized cells. Centrifuge

completely inactive and the live parasites were active and not dyed. MTT assay Antipromastigote effect of SKEO on promastigote stage of L. major by colorimetric cell viability MTT was assessed (13). Preparations plates were performed similar to those mentioned above and incubated at 25±1°C for 72h. After incubation‚ supernatants were thrown off by centrifuging plates in 2000 rpm for 5 min. Then 100 µl RPMI-PR- which included 10µl MTT (5mg/ml) was added to each well. The plates were incubated for 4h

measurement of protein concentration is one of the most common and accurately performed biochemical assays in many fields of protein study. An assay which has been formerly described by Bradford has become the most favoured method for determining protein throughout many laboratories. It is used broadly within the food industry‚ by research laboratories‚ and in medical diagnostics. The Bradford assay is dependent on the binding of the dye Coomassie Blue G250 to protein (mainly arginine)‚ in which

The antibacterial activity of the green synthesized silver nanoparticles from aqueous extract of Gum of fresh Coconut was tested by the disc diffusion method against an antibiotic‚ ampicillin(1µg/µl) as a standard drug. The antibiotic resistant bacteria viz.‚ Staphylococcus aureus‚ Bacillus subtilus‚ Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia were used for the measurement of antibacterial activity‚ and the plates were incubated at 370C overnight to know the zone of inhibition. 2.2.

Bradford Protein Assay Practical Report 1. Present your data (including raw data and calculated concentrations) for the protein standards in the form of a clear table. Give one example of how you calculated protein concentration. Do not forget a descriptive title and units (4marks) Title either too long or not descriptive or absent Your results are in duplicate & shouldn’t be referred to as ‘set1 & set2’ or ‘original’ and ‘duplicate’ Many of you think units of absorbance are nm but A has arbitrary

Title: Bradford Assay: Creating a Standard Curve and Determining Unknown Protein Concentrations Introduction: In biochemistry the ability to determine the quantity of a certain substance in a solution is extremely important. Often protein concentration within a biological organism is essential in determining the function or condition of that organism. If the protein concentration in an environment is increased or decreased it can have detrimental side effects. If there is a decrease in hemoglobin

percentage of each unknown was large: 25.9% for skim milk‚ 95% for soy sauce‚ and 64.7% for egg white. The vast difference between the theoretical protein concentration and experimental protein concentration of the unknowns showed that Bradford Protein Assay must have limitations. The Coomassie dye only interacts with certain amino acids such as: arginine‚ histidine‚ lysine‚ tyrosine‚ tryptophan and phenylalanine. However‚ each amino acid has different structure from each other; therefore the Coomassie

In this lab we employed various assays utilizing a biuret reagent‚ coomassie brilliant blue reagent‚ and ultraviolet light in order to determine the identity of six unknown solutions and the concentration of a bovine serum albumin sample. We were given three samples that lacked protein‚ and three samples containing proteins‚ and using a spectrophotometer we assessed the amount of light absorbed versus the light transmitted‚ based on the principles of the Beer-Lambert Law. The three proteins used
