الهدف

تحديد تركيز البروتين في عينة مجهولة باستخدام فحص برادفورد ومنحنى معايرة BSA.

الخلفية

The Bradford assay is one of the most widely used methods for protein quantification in biochemistry laboratories. Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 dye binds to protein molecules, shifting its absorption maximum from 465 nm (unbound, red/brown) to 595 nm (bound, blue). The increase in absorbance at 595 nm is proportional to the amount of protein present. The method is fast, sensitive (1–25 μg/mL range), and relatively free from interference by most common reagents.

تحذيرات السلامة

  • Bradford reagent contains phosphoric acid and methanol
  • Coomassie dye stains everything it contacts
  • Wear gloves to protect from dye and acid
  • Use disposable cuvettes to avoid staining

المواد

  • Bradford reagent (Coomassie Blue G-250) (100 mL)
    Commercial or freshly prepared
  • BSA standard (bovine serum albumin) (10 mL)
    1 mg/mL stock
  • Unknown protein sample (5 mL)
  • Distilled water (200 mL)

المعدات

Spectrophotometer Cuvettes (plastic, disposable recommended) Micropipettes (20–1000 μL) Test tubes (8) Vortex mixer

الإجراء

1

Prepare BSA standards: 0, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 μg/mL by diluting the 1 mg/mL stock in water.

10 دقيقة
2

Add 100 μL of each standard and unknown sample to separate test tubes.

5 دقيقة
3

Add 5 mL of Bradford reagent to each tube. Mix by gentle vortexing or inversion. Do not create bubbles.

5 دقيقة Reagent contains acid
4

Incubate for 5 minutes at room temperature (do not exceed 60 minutes as color will begin to fade).

5 دقيقة
5

Measure absorbance at 595 nm. Zero with the 0 μg/mL blank.

15 دقيقة
6

Plot the calibration curve (absorbance vs. BSA concentration). Note that the Bradford assay curve is slightly nonlinear at higher concentrations.

10 دقيقة
7

Determine the protein concentration of the unknown from the calibration curve. Account for any dilutions made.

10 دقيقة

النتائج المتوقعة

The calibration curve shows absorbance increasing with BSA concentration, with slight deviation from linearity above 15 μg/mL. The color change from brown/red to blue is clearly visible. The unknown protein concentration should be determinable within the calibration range.

التنظيف

Dispose of Bradford reagent waste in designated containers. Use disposable cuvettes if possible. Clean any spills immediately as the dye stains permanently.
