Questions and Answers

What is the sensitive range of the Bradford assay when using 5 ml color reagent prepared in lab?

  • 10 to 150 µg protein
  • 1 to 50 µg protein
  • 20 to 200 µg protein
  • 5 to 100 µg protein (correct)
  • What causes the visible color change in the Bradford assay?

  • Binding of Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 to any type of molecule
  • Change in pH of the solution
  • Stabilization of the anionic form of the dye due to hydrophobic and ionic interactions with proteins (correct)
  • Presence of acidic solution
  • What is the principle behind the Bradford assay's measurement of protein concentration?

  • Formation of a complex between protein and a dye with constant extinction coefficient (correct)
  • Change in color due to protein presence
  • Absorbance shift of Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 when binding to proteins
  • Precipitation of proteins with a specific dye
