โฆ Synopsis
An ultrasensitive
protein assay, linear between 0.01 and 0.2 pg protein, is described. In this assay, copper is complexed to protein, excess copper is removed by adsorption to a small Sephadex column, and the copper-protein complex is destroyed by digestion with hydroperoxide.
Phenol and chloramine-T are added to the reaction mixture and the copper catalyzes the production of a color-producing reaction between the two compounds. The assay is not affected by low levels of phosphate, Tris, metals, or a tenfold excess of nucleic acid over protein. Reducing agents, sucrose, certain anions, high salt concentrations, and EDTA seriously interfere. The method is about 500 times as sensitive as that of Lowry et al. [
