A unique plant was discovered from the hot springs of Maquinit, Coron, Palawan. To study the activity of the plant, approximately 5.00 g of the fresh plant was finely cut and ground and then mixed with an extraction buffer to make up a total of 1.00 mL crude plant extract. Approximately 19.00 mL of water was added to the plant extract. To determine the protein concentration of the extract, a bovine serum albumin (BSA) stock solution with a concentration of 300 μg mL-1 was used and mixtures with the following compositions and absorbance readings were prepared:     A 100 μL aliquot of the diluted plant extract was added with 400 μL of water and was subjected to Bradford assay. Determine the protein concentration, in mg mL-1, of the original 1.00 mL crude extract if the absorbance of the diluted aliquot extract acquired from the analysis is 0.234.

A unique plant was discovered from the hot springs of Maquinit, Coron, Palawan. To study the activity of the plant, approximately 5.00 g of the fresh plant was finely cut and ground and then mixed with an extraction buffer to make up a total of 1.00 mL crude plant extract. Approximately 19.00 mL of water was added to the plant extract. To determine the protein concentration of the extract, a bovine serum albumin (BSA) stock solution with a concentration of 300 μg mL-1 was used and mixtures with the following compositions and absorbance readings were prepared:

 

 

100 μL aliquot of the diluted plant extract was added with 400 μL of water and was subjected to Bradford assay. Determine the protein concentration, in mg mL-1, of the original 1.00 mL crude extract if the absorbance of the diluted aliquot extract acquired from the analysis is 0.234.
