At a concentration of 20-800 nmol/0.1 ml hydrogen peroxide instantly reacts with a 2,2'-bicinchoninic acid copper color reagent. It also reacts with a reformulated reagent at pH 7 but the color develops less rapidly. While the effect may interfere with protein estimations at alkaline pH, the effect

✦ Synopsis
The interference of a range of drugs and related substances has been investigated in the Bradford Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) protein dye-binding assay and the 2,2'-bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assays. Chlorpromazine was the only substance to interfere in the CBB assay but the interference was slight. In contrast, the BCA reagent interacted strongly with chlorpromazine, the penicillins, vitamin C, and paracetamol and the mode of interference varied with the test substance. The chlorpromazine produced turbidity and an atypical color. The penicillins show a slow but normal color response while vitamin C and paracetamol gave an immediate and intense response.

The bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay method for the determination of protein has been investigated for its utility in measuring the protein content of plasma lipoproteins.

A method for DNA fragmentation by H2O2 in the DNA alkaline elution procedure is described. Treatment of cell suspensions for 1 h with 100 microM H2O2 or 5 mM H2O2 at 0-1 degree C resulted in DNA breakage equivalent to doses of 300 and 3000 rad of gamma-rays, respectively. The elution profiles were r
