Homework Statement
Hi, I have one more question about the Bradford Assay. This one involves dilution.
Given 1ml of protein A, I am to determine its protein concentration (in mg/ml) using Bradford Assay (with known BSA protein standards).
Also, Under a 5 times dilution, the average absorbance is 0.497.
Homework Equations
The standard curve I obtained is:
The Attempt at a Solution
From the standard curve,
y = 66.717x
With absorbance = 0.497
0.497 = 66.717x
x = 0.00744 ug/ul
Since there is a dilution factor of 5
New x = 0.00744 * 5 = 0.0372 ug/ul = 0.0372 mg/ml ?? (is this correct?)
However, the correct answer is 0.372 mg/ml . What did I did wrongly??
