A purified protein fraction has a total sample volume of 450 µL. The sample has a corrected A280 of 0.244, and the blank corrected A280 was 0.077. (Both values were measured with a path length of 1.00 cm.) If 5.50 µL of the sample was used in a reaction, calculate the mass of protein in the reaction (in µg).

You perform a Bradford assay to determine the concentration of isolated α-lactalbumin. You use 50 μL of a two-fold diluted solution of α-lactalbumin in the assay. You generate a standard curve with the following equation for the line: y = 0.163x + 0.082. The absorbance of your sample was 0.674 AU. What is the concentration of α-lactalbumin, in mg/mL, in your sample? Give your answer to three significant figures.
An enzyme (molecular weight= 24 kDa, pI= 5.5) is contaminated with two other proteins, one witha similar molecular mass and a pI of 7.0 while the other has a molecular mass of 100 kDa and a pIof 5.4. Suggest how the contaminated enzyme can be purified.
You need a buff er at pH 7.5 for use in purifying a protein at 4°C. You have chosen Tris, pK 8.08, ΔH° = 50 kJ · mol−1. You carefully make up 0.01 M Tris buffer, pH 7.5 at 25°C, and store it in the cold to equilibrate it to the temperature of the purifi cation. When you measure the pH of the temperature-equilibrated buff er it has increased to 8.1. What is the explanation for this increase? How can you avoid this problem?
A researcher is preparing a reaction mixture to test the activity of a protein.

The standard curve to determine the amount of betacyanin is shown below. You extracted a red pigment from a beet disc (the mass of a disc is 2 g) using 10 ml of 20% ethanol solution. You measured absorbance of the solution above the beet disc every minute for a total time of 20 minutes. The increase in absorbance was linear during a period of time from 1 min to 10 min. The absorbance at 10 min was 0.8. Calculate the amount of betacyanin extracted from 1g of a beet tissue per minute. Explain your calculations. You can use Excel or a calculator.
