Protein A280
Thermo Scientific Evolution 200 Series User Guide 161
Tyrosine, tryptophan, phenylalanine and to a small extent lysine and Cys-Cys disulphide
bonds have an absorbance peak around 280 nm. This method does not require generation of
a standard curve and is ready for protein sample quantitation at software startup. Colorimetric
assays such as Pierce BCA, Pierce 660 nm, Bradford and Lowry are more commonly used for
uncharacterized protein solutions and cell lysates.
The Protein A280 application displays the UV spectrum, measures the protein’s absorbance at
280 nm (A280), and calculates the concentration (mg/ml).
