Description

Application

• Bicinchoninic acid disodium salt hydrate has been used to monitor the levels of reducing sugars, thereby helping in the detection of chitinases.
• It has also been used to determine the amount of cellulose reducing ends (micromoles/g cellulose).
• It has been used for determining protein concentration.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bicinchoninic acid is used for the determination of protein concentration. It is responsible for the making of intense purple complex with cuprous ion (Cu⁺), in presence of alkaline conditions. The amount of Cu⁺ is in relation with the protein concentration.
