Question

Please help me answer and explain these questions:

1. Compare the abundance of A280 chromophores (W, Y, and C) to Bradford sites (loosely R and K) in BSA.

2. We used a protocol that corrects the path length in each well and normalizes the absorbance to the value that would be obtained if the path length were 1 cm (the standard path length). Using this observation and your A280 calibration data, what is your measured e280, for BSA?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Answer : 

Q1. Advantage absorbance at 280 nm : It is very simple. Also the sample is not destroyed

Disadvantage is of interference from nonprotein chromophores.
