After calculating the extinction coefficient for lysozyme above, you convert it into ml mg1 cm1 units. (You need not do the calculation, just suppose you did). To calculate the protein concentration in your column fractions (W1-3, E1-2), would your calculated extinction coefficient be a better choice than 1.5 mL mg1 cm1 value listed in the theory section of your pre-lab? Why or why not?

Question
After calculating the extinction coefficient for lysozyme above, you convert it into
ml mg cm1 units. (You need not do the calculation, just suppose you did).
To calculate the protein concentration in your column fractions (W1-3, E1-2), would
your calculated extinction coefficient be a better choice than 1.5 mL mg 1 cm1 value
listed in the theory section of your pre-lab? Why or why not?
(Choose the best response)
Yes, because we expect all of the column fractions to be mainly lysozyme.
No, because most, if not all, the column fractions are mixtures of 2 or more
proteins.
Trick question, we should use the values calculated by EXPASY for lysozyme.
Yes, because my calculated value is more accurate than values from the
literature.
ONo, because lysozyme is still stuck to the column and shouldnot be in any of our
column fractions.
