        Quantitation of Protein:Bicinchoninic Acid (BCA) Method

        互联网

        3165

        【 Purpose 】

        Master the BCA method and procedure to quantitate protein concentration

        【 Principle 】

        BCA method is a modification of Lowry method. The BCA technique offers manipulative simplifications, more tolerance toward interfering substances, greater working reagent stability, increased sensitivity (the minimum detection can be 0.5μg/ml), and greater protocol flexibility when compared to the standard Lowry assay.

        The peptide bond of amino acids can bind with Cu 2+ to form a complex in the basic solution and then the Cu 2+ is deoxidized to Cu + . Bicinchoninic acid and its sodium salt are water-soluble.

        In the alkaline environment, it can bind with Cu 2+ to form a dark purple compound, which has strong absorbance maximum at 562nm wavelength. Because the brightness is coordinated with the concentration of protein, we can use matching method to determine protein concentration.

        【 Materials 】

        1.Apparatus

        721-spectrophotometer, Constant temperature water bath tank, Pipettes, Test tubes and test tube shelf

        2.Reagent:

        (1) BCA reagent:

        ① Reagent A, 1L:Weigh 10g BCA (1%), 20g Na 2 CO 3• H 2 O (2%),1.6g Na 2 C 4 H 4 O 6• 2H 2 O (0.16%),4g NaOH (0.4%) ,9.5g NaHCO 3 (0.95) respectively. Add water to 1L, and then adjust the pH to 11.25 by NaOH or solid NaHCO 3

        ② Reagent B, 50ml: Take 2g CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O (4%), add distilled water to 50ml.

        ③ BCA Reagent: Take 50 allots Reagent A and 1 allots Reagent B, mix up. This reagent can be stable for a week.

        (2) Standard protein solution: Weigh 40mg bovine serum albumin, dissolved in distilled water to 1000ml, so the concentration of standard protein solution is 400μg/ml.

        (3)Sample solution:Make about 50μg/ml bovine serum albumin 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
        Standard protein solution (μl)
        Distilled water(μl)
        BCA reagent(ml)
        Protein concentration(μg)

        100

        After adding those reagents, shake them up, keep standing for 30 minutes at 37℃, then wait till the temperature drops to the room temperature. Determine absorbance at 562nm, 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 250μl of sample solution truly to a clear and dry test tube, add 5ml of BCA reagent and shake up, incubate at 37℃ for 30 minutes. Use the first tube as contrast, and then make color matching at 595nm. Record the absorbance.

        【 Results 】

        Look up concentration of sample solution on calibration curve.
