Question

1. what is the name of the molecule that binds to proteins producing a blue color? it was used in the bradford assay. at what wavelength does this molecule absorb? a. 410 nm b. 595 nm

Explanation:

In the Bradford assay, Coomassie Brilliant Blue binds to proteins. The bound form of this dye has a maximum absorbance at 595 nm. This property is used to quantify proteins as the absorbance at this wavelength is proportional to the protein concentration.

Answer:

Coomassie Brilliant Blue; b. 595 nm
