General description

The biuret and Lowry procedures are used for protein determination. The former is widely used for clinical assays. The latter, though more sensitive, is used for investigative work and is limited by poor stability of combined reagents, non-reproducibility of color, especially at low protein concentration, and nonlinear chromogenic response with protein concentration. Ohnishi and Barr modified the biuret reagent for the Lowry procedure, thereby simplifying it while improving the stability of the combined reagent.

Application

Total Protein Kit, Micro-Lowry, Onishi & Barr Modification has been used to determine total soluble protein concentrations:
  • in the dialyzates/extracts of gliadins
  • in the extracts of flour (Avena sativa and Triticum durum) and seeds (Chenopodium quinoaSalvia hispanica L.)
  • in the stored samples of rat liver microsomal fractions

Principle

Colorimetric, Endpoint.assay. Ohnishi and Barr′s modification of micro Lowry method. According to procedure, dilute biuret reagent reacts with peptide bonds to yield a purple-blue complex, the color of which is intensified by the addition of phenol reagent. Absorbance, read at 550-750 nm, is used to determine results from a standard curve.

When the initial effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves mitochondrial photodamage, an early effect is loss of the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm ). Using murine hepatoma 1c1c7 cells and a photosensitizing agent known to target mitochondria, we examined loss of
