Quantitation of Protein: Coomassie Bright Blue Dye - binding Method (Bradford Method)

关键词: quantitation protein coomassie来源: 互联网
Purpose
Master the principle and method of coomassie bright blue dye - binding method to quantitate pro­tein.
Principle
Coomassie brilliant blue G - 250, for short CBG is a red dye in acidic solution and its absorbance wavelength is 465nm. When combined with protein it shows a shift in its absorption maximum from 465nm to 595nm. The absorption at 595nm is directly proportional to protein concentration in a definite range of 1 to 1000μg. So we can determine pro­tein concentration by color matching method.
Because protein-dye has high absorbance value, the sensitivity of protein quantitation could be highly improved to 1μg protein. The dye can bind with protein immediately, about 2 minutes, and this complex can be stable within 1 hour. So this method is easy to perform, quick, highly sensitive and stable. It is a widely used method in protein quantitation.
Materials
1. Apparatus
  1. spectrophotometer, Test tube, Pipet, Flask
2. Reagents
(1) Standard protein solution: Weigh 10mg bovine serum albumin, dissolved in distilled water then dilute to 100ml to get the 100μg/ml solution. 
(2) Coomassie bright blue G-250 solution: Weigh 100mg coomassie bright blue G-250, dissolve in 50ml 95% ethanol, then add 85%(m/v) phosphate solution 100ml, finally dilute to 1000ml. This solution can be preserved for 1 month at room temperature.
(3) Sample solution: Make 50μg/ml bovine serum albumin solution as sample solution.
Procedures
1. Draw calibration curve
Number six clear test tubes, and add reagents as the following table.
Number 1 2 3 4 5 6

After adding those reagents, shake them up, keep standing for 2 minutes at room temperature. Determine absorbance at 595nm, the first tube is contrast. Make absorbance-protein concentration calibration curve, while the bovine serum albumin concentration is x-axis, the absorbance is y-axis.
2. Sample assay
Imbibe 1.0ml of sample solution truly to a clear and dry test tube, add 5ml of coomassie bright blue G-250 reagent and shake up, keep standing for 2 minutes at room temperature. Use blank tube as zero, and then make color matching at 595nm. Record the absorbance.
Results
Look up concentration of sample solution on calibration curve.
