Questions and Answers

What is the formula for calculating dilution factor (DF)?

  • DF = Final volume - Solute volume
  • DF = Solute volume * Final volume
  • DF = Solute volume / Final volume
  • DF = Final volume / Solute volume (correct)
  • In the Bradford assay, at what pH does the Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 dye have a blue color?

  • 1 < pH < 2
  • pH > 2 (correct)
  • pH = 7
  • pH < 1
  • What is the wavelength of maximum absorption of the Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 dye when it is not yet bound to protein?

  • 420 nm (correct)
  • It is not specified in the text
  • 650 nm
  • 550 nm
