  • Time Required: 45 minutes
In this lab, students analyze the protein content of milk, sports drinks, egg, muscle tissue, saliva, tears, or any source of soluble biologically derived material. The Bradford method is based on the color development formed when the dye, Coomassie Blue G-250, binds to protein in the sample. The unique chemical properties of the dye allow it to interact with the side chains, or R-groups, of specific amino acids. There is a correlation between the amount of blue color and the amount of protein in the sample: the more protein, the more intense the blue color. Results can be measured qualitatively by eye or quantitatively with a spectrophotometer. Students use absorbance values from a set of protein samples with known concentrations to create a standard curve. Protein concentrations of their test samples can then be extrapolated. This lab integrates the physical, chemical, and biological properties of proteins and how these properties determine protein structure and function. Includes materials for 80 setups.
