Calculate the volume of BSA stock that will be required to make the standard solutions needed to create the BSA standard curve. Be sure to show your work and include the volume of 0.02 M phosphate buffer required to reach a final volume of 1 mL. From a 2,000 μg/mL BSA stock, create 1 mL of each of the following stock solutions in 0.02 M phosphate buffer using individual microcentrifuge tubes: 50 μg/mL, 250 μg/mL, 500 μg/mL, 1,000 μg/mL, 1,250 μg/mL, 1,500 μg/mL. Be sure to properly label all the microcentrifuge tubes before creating the standards.
Proteins
We generally tend to think of proteins only from a dietary lens, as a component of what we eat. However, they are among the most important and abundant organic macromolecules in the human body, with diverse structures and functions. Every cell contains thousands and thousands of proteins, each with specific functions. Some help in the formation of cellular membrane or walls, some help the cell to move, others act as messages or signals and flow seamlessly from one cell to another, carrying information.
Protein Expression
The method by which living organisms synthesize proteins and further modify and regulate them is called protein expression. Protein expression plays a significant role in several types of research and is highly utilized in molecular biology, biochemistry, and protein research laboratories.
