pH > 2
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
What is the equation for the relationship between protein standard concentration (x) and absorbance (y) in the Bradford assay?
y = 0.2869x - 0.0007
If the absorbance (y) is 0.2137, what is the protein standard concentration (x) according to the Bradford assay equation?

What is the function of the UV-visible spectrophotometer?
To measure the absorbance or transmittance of light in the ultraviolet and visible range of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum
What happens if the absorbance of a protein sample is higher than the absorbance of the standard solution with the highest concentration?
Another standard solution with a higher concentration should be prepared
What is the minimum molecular weight required for proteins to be detected by the Bradford assay?
3000 Daltons
Why should absorbance be measured immediately after mixing the dye with the protein sample?
To avoid precipitation of the dye-protein complex
