Application
Bicinchoninic Acid Kit has been used for the protein estimation in salivary proteome samples, human embryonic kidney 293 cells and luteal cells.
Features and Benefits
- Simple, sensitive colorimetric assay for proteins
- Two stable reagents are used for the working solution
- Faster and easier than the Lowry protein assay
- Compatible with many detergents both ionic and nonionic
- Less variation between different proteins than the Bradford dye-binding assay
- Adaptable for use in microwell plates
Principle
Proteins reduce alkaline Cu(II) to Cu(I) in a concentration-dependent manner. Bicinchoninic acid is a highly specific chromogenic reagent for Cu(I), forming a purple complex with an absorbance maximum at 562 nm. The absorbance is directly proportional to protein concentration. This is an alternative to the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent for protein determination.
