1. Suppose you're running a protein gel. You perform a protein assay on your sample, with 20 µl protein sample and 180 μl working solution. You measure a protein concentration of 40 µg/ml in the assay tube. What is the protein concentration in your sample tube (in μg/ml)? 2. Continuing the same sample, suppose you mix 65 μl of protein sample, 25 μl of sample buffer, and 10 μl of sample reducing agent in a new tube (gel-ready). What is the protein concentration in your gel-ready tube (in μg/ml)? 3. Continuing the same gel-ready sample, suppose you load 20 µl of protein on the gel. How much protein is that (in μg)? 4. Continuing with the same gel-ready sample, suppose you want to load 6.0 µg of protein on the gel. How much is that in μl?

Which of the following statements is/are FALSE about Bradford assay? 1. Upon addition of the reagent, the color of the protein solution becomes purple. II. The absorbance of the resulting solution is measured at a wavelength of 540-550 nm. Both I and II O II only Neither I nor II O I only
In size exclusion chromatography, which component will elute last in the set up? Group of answer choices Large proteins will elute last because they pass through the pores of the gel beads. Small proteins will elute last because they do not pass through the pores of the gel beads. Large proteins will elute last because they do not pass through the pores of the gel beads. Small proteins will elute last because they pass through the pores of the gel beads.
At higher amounts of protein, the Bradford assay is not linear. Consider the plot to the right: what is the maximum amount of protein a sample could contain and still fall within a standard curve? Briefly explain your reasoning.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Principle: The assay starts with a sample applied to the sample well. A recombinant HIV antigen conjugated to colloidal gold embedded in the sample pad reacts with the HIV antibody present in serum or plasma forming conjugate / HIV antibody complex. As the mixture is allowed to migrate along the test strip, the conjugate / HIV antibody complex is captured by recombinant HIV antigen immobilized on a membrane forming a colored test band in the test region. A negative sample does not produce a test band due to the absence of colloidal gold conjugate / HIV antibody complex. The antigens used in the conjugate test are recombinant proteins that correspond to highly immunoreactive regions of HIV 1 and HIV 2. A colored control band in the control region appears at the end of test procedure regardless of test result. This control band is the result of colloidal gold conjugate binding to the anti-HIV antibody immobilized on the membrane. The…
4. Look at the gel image and answer the questions below and be specific. a) Based on your calculations of the DNA concentrations, how much DNA was loaded into each well? Do you see DNA for each of your samples? If not, why do you think that is so? b) Is the DNA in a single sharp band, multiple bands or a smear? What would each of these scenarios be due to, and why would you see them for your samples? c) Do you see multiple bands in your plasmid DNA sample? What are they?

A plaque assay is performed beginning with 1 mL of a solution containing bacteriophages. This solution is serially diluted 3 times by combining 0.1 mL of each sequential dilution with 9.9 mL of liquid medium. Then 0.1 mL of the final dilution is plated in the plaque assay and yields 12 plaques.What is the initial density of bacteriophages in the original 1 mL? Enter your answer to two significant figures ( for example: 1.1 * 10^2)
