Best Answer

here the amount of protein in a sample can be determined, using different protocols, wherein the reagent mixture( ex: FC reagent) which when added to the sample containing protein reacts with the specific amino acids giving colour, thus the amount of protein in a sample can be estimated and the data used for further protein studies.

Why we are used sodium bicarbonate for the estimation of protein?

Sodium bicarbonate is not necessarily used in the estimation of protein. There are very many protein assays on the market, and the vast majority of them do NOT use NaHCO3. Look up Lowry, Biuret, Bradford, etc.

Role of F C reagent in protein estimation?

phosphomolybdic & phosphotungstic components in FC reagents gets reduced by certain amino acids present in the protein like tyrosine , tryptophan thereby resulting in the production of a a blue colored compound . Estimation of this compound in turn provides the amount of protein present in the sample.

Why protein estimation is done at 660 nanometer in folin lowry method?

because folin lowry reagent has absorption maxima at 660 nm


What is lambda max for colorless proteins?

if the protein is colorless then it is quite tough to calculate the lambda max or absorption maxima directly (still you can check it by absorbtion maxima calculation/experiment). Otherwise, for its estimation first you have to treat it with any reagent (like folin reagent) then it will form a colored complex and then you can calculate it. For the common estimation of protein, there is a "Lowry Method" where you can calculate it on 750 wavelength.


What is approximate estimation?
