✦ Synopsis


A method for quantitative determination of insoluble proteins by means of the biuret reaction is proposed. The sample is oxidized with excess HIOZ, dried, and subsequently dissolved in 0.05% sodium dodecyl sulfate-1 N NaOH at 1WC. The clear solution obtained is treated with biuret reagent and the absorbance of the chromogen is measured at 3540Β°C. The method is applied successfully to collagen from bovine Achilles tendon, keratin of sheep's wool, and defatted sheepskin. Biuret chromogen absorbance of HZOg-oxidized human serum albumin is 10 f 0~5% lower than that obtained with the native protein.

The inherently simple biuret reaction is hampered by lack of sensitivity and reproducibility in the determination of low protein concentrations. A method utilizing a modified biuret formulation and colorimeter range expander permits protein determination in the 0.01-3.0 mg/ml range at a sampling rat

A solid-phase protein assay (SPA) for the determination of protein concentrations in the nanogram range is described. The technique is based on biotinylation of immobilized protein on the solid phase of a microtiter plate and quantitation of the protein-biotin complexes by peroxidase-coupled avidin.
