The Bradford Protein Assay is a spectroscopic analytical procedure used to measure the concentration of protein in a solution. Extremely high resolution spectrum of the Sun showing thousands of elemental absorption lines (fraunhofer lines) Spectroscopy is the study of matter and its properties by investigating light, sound, or particles that are emitted, absorbed or scattered by the matter under investigation. ...

Principle
The Bradford assay, a colorimetric protein assay, is based on an absorbance shift in the dye Coomassie when bound to arginine and hydrophobic amino acid residues present in protein. A colorimeter is device used to measure the absorbance of a specific solution. ...
In spectroscopy, the absorbance A is defined as , where I is the intensity of light at a specified wavelength λ that has passed through a sample (transmitted light intensity) and is the intensity of the light before it enters the sample (or incident light intensity). ...
Coomassie Solution of Coomassie Coomassie (also known as Brilliant Blue, Brilliant Blue G, Acid Blue 90, C.I. 42655, or Brilliant Blue G 250) is a blue dye commonly used in sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). ...
Arginine (symbol Arg or R) is an α-amino acid. ...
In chemistry, an amino acid is any molecule that contains both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. ...
The anionic (bound) form of the dye is blue and has an absorption spectrum maximum historically held to be at 595 nm. The cationic (unbound) forms are green and red. The increase of absorbance at 595 nm is proportional to the amount of bound dye, and thus to the amount (concentration) of protein present in the sample. An ion is an atom or group of atoms that normally are electrically neutral and achieve their status as an ion by loss or addition of one or more electrons. ...
A materials absorption spectrum shows the fraction of incident electromagnetic radiation absorbed by the material over a range of frequencies. ...
A metre (American spelling: meter; symbol: m) is a unit of length and the current base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). ...
Unlike other protein assays, the Bradford protein assay is less susceptible to interference by various chemicals that may be present in protein samples. An exception of note is elevated concentrations of detergent. An assay is a procedure where the concentration of a component part of a mixture is determined. ...
Display of Tide on sale at a supermarket Laundry detergents are just only one of many possibilities of use of the detergents Detergent is a compound, or a mixture of compounds, intended to assist cleaning. ...
Disadvantages The Bradford assay is linear over a short range, typically from 2ug/ml to 120ug/ml, often making dilutions of a tissue sample necessary before analysis.
Alternative assays Alternative protein assays include Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than soft X-rays. ...

The Biuret Reagent is made of sodium hydroxide and copper sulphate. ...
Principle Under alkaline conditions the divalent copper ion forms a complex with peptide bonds in which it is reduced to a monovalent ion. ...
The bicinchoninic acid assay or BCA assay is a biochemical assay for determining the total level of protein in a solution, similar to Lowry protein assay, Bradford protein assay or biuret reagent. ...
Amido black 10B Amido black 10B, also called Amidoschwarz, Naphthol blue black, Acid Black 1, and C.I. 20470, is an amino acid staining diazo dye used in criminal investigations to detect blood present with latent fingerprints. ...
