  1. Methodology for the Quantification of protein Protein quantity varies based on the type of tissues, mode of extraction, handling techniques and the content of the cell. Proteins have to be quantified after extraction, to look for any other impurities that are present and to have knowledge about the quantity of protein to be used for further experiments. In some cases it helps to determine whether the protocol used for extraction is efficient one or not • Related Los: Plotting graph, using nano-view intrument > Prior Viewing – IDD-6.

  4. Definitions and Keywords 1 • 1.Protein : Proteins are the biomolecules, composed of amino acid which forms the building block of the system and performs most of the function of the system. 2. BSA: Bovine Serum Albumin is used as the standard protein, who's concentration is already known to plot the graph. BSA extracted from the calf’s serum is used as reference protein to calculate the protein concentration for unknown sample. • 3.Bradford reagent: The Bradford reagent consists of Coomassie Brilliant Blue, G250, ethanol, Phosphoric acid. It quantifies protein by converting red form of coomassie blue to blue one as a result of electron transfer reaction when the dye binds to the protein. The color solution is later used to read the absorbance. • 4. UV-Visible spectrometer: Ultraviolet –Visible spectrometer quantifies the protein concentration by using the light absorption property of amino acid especially phenylalanine, tryptophan and tyrosine. 2 3 4 5

  5. Audio Narration (if any)‏ Description of the action/ interactivity Show the box with fresh tubes from the rack, let user takes out tubes from the box, and place it in the stand as shown. Animate like user taking the marker and start labeling the tubes in order(B, 1-5 for standard), S1 and S2 for samples. The user should click on the hand so that the labeling has to happen. Please redraw the figures as shown. Step 1: T1:Labeling the tubes 1 2 3 Label the tubes for the standards-1 to 5, blank-B and sample in duplicates-S1,S2. duplicates are necessary while doing quantification eves for standards also but depends on user. 4 5

  6. Step 2: T2:Thawing the frozen sample 1 frozen sample 2 Description of the action/ interactivity Audio Narration (if any)‏ 3 Animate user taking out the sample from -20’C freezer by opening the freezer. The solution inside the tube must look like frozen. Now instruct user to thaw the tube, by holding tube between palms with rubbing action (action should happen as user clicks on the hand). After thawing, display the change in phase to liquid form. Show a bucket of ice and animate like placing the tube on ice. Draw a tube labelled as BSA and animate like the user taking it from the 4'C fridge by opening the fridge and placing the tube on the ice. Thaw the frozen sample by rubbing between the palms and take the BSA standard and place it on the ice. 4 5

  7. Step 3: T3:Taking standards and sample for quantification 1 2 Description of the action Audio Narration ‏ 3 The standard concentration of BSA is (2mg/ml). Pipette out BSA in increasing volume for increasing concentration, to draw the standard graph to calculate the concentration of unknown sample. Show labeled BSA standard tube, now instruct user to click on pipette and set the it at 5ul, animate like the user taking the 5ul of BSA from the tube and adding to tube labeled as “1” and follow the same steps by setting the pipette to 10ul,15ul,20ul 25ul and add to tubes labeled as “2,3,4,5” respectively and similarly show the sample tube and instruct user to set the pipette for 10ul to take out the sample and add to tubes labeled as S1 and S2 each. The pipette setting action should happen when the user clicks on the pipette. Please redraw the pictures 4 5

  8. Audio Narration ‏ Description of the action Step 4: T4:Making the volume with water 1 2 3 Let user take out tube labeled as distilled water from -20'C freezer. Instruct user to set the pipette to 995ul to take out the water and add to the tube labeled as 1. now set the pipette to 990ul, 985ul,980ul,975ul,1000ul to take the water and add to tubes labeled as “2,3,4,5,B” respectively. Again set the pipette to 990ul and take the water and add to tubes S1 and S2. Animate for water addition to each tube with increase in the solution level to 1ml in the tube. Make the samples to equal volume using water 4 5

  10. Audio Narration Description of the action/ interactivity Animate like the user setting the pipette to 1000ul, open the cap of Bradford’s bottle and pipette out Bradford reagent solution (color should be red) into all the tubes one by one. Once the reagent is added the color of the solution must change from red to blue with gradient . Animate like the user takes each tube and invert it for mixing the contents . Show like tubes are allowed to stand for 15 minutes animate a clock showing 15 minutes Step 5: T5: addition of Bradford reagent 1 2 3 Add the Bradford reagent to the protein sample and standard tubes. Incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature. 4 5

  11. Description of the action Audio Narration ‏ Animate the reaction, red circle must bind to brown thread like proteins and show unwinding of the thread as in figure, show a circle with negative sign (electron) in it moving from thread like thing to red circles and the red circles must turn to blue. For standard tubes show the blue color in increasing intensity like in tube:1 light blue and 2,3,4 the color need to be in increment mode tube:5 should be dark blue and for sample tube chose any of the color intensity between the tubes: 2-4 and Tube “B (Blank)” must be red in color. Step 5: T6: Mechanism of Bradford reagent 1 2 3 Red form of coomassie blue dye binds to the protein and the electron transfer reaction takes place which results in protein denaturation and color change in dye to blue. Color intensity is directly proportional to concentration of protein. 4 5
