Then, 2) insoluble cell contents were removed by centrifugation at 4,000 x g for approximately ten minutes. The ruptured cells (lysate) after centrifugation had a total volume of 0 mL and a 1.0 mL aliquot was set aside for further analysis. The following data was obtained from the 1.0 mL aliquot to quantify the protein amount and purity: The absorbance at 410 nm of the aliquot was 0.460 (1 cm pathlength). The absorbance at 595 nm from a 1.0 mL Bradford Assay solution that was diluted by 250-fold from the aliquot was 0.681 (1 cm pathlength). Using the information given, Calculate the total protein amount in mg from the absorbance at 595 nm. Calculate the cytochrome C amount in mg from the absorbance at 410 nm using Beer’s Law.arrow_forward
