        Biuret

        Considerations for use

        The principle of the biuret assay is similar to that of the Lowry,however it involves a single incubation of 20 min.There are very few interfering agents (ammonium salts being one such agent),and Layne (1957)reported fewer deviations than with the Lowry orμltraviolet absorption methods.However,the biuret assay consumes much more material.The biuret is a good general protein assay for batches of material for which yield is not a problem.The Bradford assay is faster and more sensitive.

        Principle

        Under alkaline conditions substances containing two or more peptide bonds form a purple complex with copper salts in the reagent.

        Equipment

        In addition to standard liquid handling supplies a visible light spectrophotometer is needed,with maximum transmission in the region of 450 nm.Glass or polystyrene (cheap)cuvettes may be used.

        Procedure

        Reagent

        A formula for biuret reagent is 2.25 gm Sodium potassium tartrate (f.w.282.22),0.75 gm Copper sulfate x 5 H2O (f.w.249.68),1.25 gm Potassium iodide (166.0),all dissolved in order in 100 ml 0.2 M NaOH (f.w.40.0).Bring volume to 250 ml with distilled water (scale volume up or down as needed,of course).Discard if a black precipitate forms.

        Assay

        1.Volumes sample,reagent can be scaled up/down and/or volume ratios varied,as with any assay.

        2.Warm up the spectrophotometer 15 min.before use.

        3.Prepare standards from bovine serum albumin,preferably calibrated using absorbance at 280 nm and the extinction coefficient.The reported sensitive range,using 9 ml reagent to 1 ml sample,is from 1 to 10 mg protein.The actual sensitive range may extend beyond the upper limit.

        4.Prepare a reference tube with 1 ml buffer.

        5.If possible,dilute unknowns to an estimated 1 to 10 mg/ml with buffer; a range of dilutions should be used if the actual concentration cannot be estimated.

        6.Use 1 ml sample per assay tube

        7.Add 9 ml Biuret reagent to each tube,vortex immediately,and let stand 20 min.

        8.Read at 550 nm.

        Analysis

        Prepare a standard curve of absorbance versus micrograms protein (or vice versa),and determine amounts from the curve.Determine concentrations of original samples from the amount protein,volume/sample,and dilution factor,if any.

        Comments

        The color is stable,but all readings should be taken within 10 min.of each other.As with most assays,the Biuret can be scaled down for smaller cuvette sizes,consuming less protein.Proteins with an abnormally high or low percentage of amino acids with aromatic side groups will give high or low readings,respectively.
