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 wa

✦ Synopsis
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 of pH 7 may be used to determine the possible extent of hydrogen peroxide interference after treatment with catalase.

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. Although other methods, principally those based on the method of Lowry et al. (1951, J. Biol. Chem. 193, 265-275) have been extens
The photometric assay of reducing sugars with 2,2'-bicinchoninate was improved and its conditions were optimized. Optical density is linear between 1 and 25 nmol sugar/sample, and the assay is not affected by borate, phosphate, or other buffer anions. The molar extinction coefficients produced by th
