For this problem we need to determine the equation of our standard curve. This can be done by creating a graph from the data points and determining the slope.

Assuming that a sample of zero concentration will also have zero absorbance, we can find the equation for the line generated by finding the slope.

Pick two points on the line to find the slope. We will use (0,0) and (40,0.405).

Use this equation and the absorbance given in the question to find the concentration of the unknown sample.

Bradford assays use shifts in absorption ranges to identify the quantity of a protein in a sample. The technique uses Coomassie blue dye (Bradford reagent) and spectrophotometry to analyze protein concentrations.

qPCR is a procedure that measures the products made from a PCR reaction in real time, and is a helpful tool for studying gene expression. Coimmunoprecipitation is a technique that will isolate a specific protein or protein complex by using an antibody specific to that protein; however, this technique will not quantify a sample without further analysis. Southern blots are used to detect specific DNA sequences in a sample.

Because he is unaware of exactly where the concentration lies, it would be best to test a few samples before and after his predicted range. This will allow the researcher to ensure that his curve is linear and that his sample fits accurately somewhere along the curve. If his sample falls outside of the range he tested, he will not be able to use his standard curve to accurately predict the concentration of his sample.

The correct answer is the ratio of A₂₆₀/A_280.DNA absorbs light most strongly at 260nm and is used to determine the concentration of the DNA solution. Contaminants such as aromatic amino acids present in proteins are absorbed at 280nm, and as such, taking the ratio of A₂₆₀/A₂₈₀将表明DNA样本的纯度。迪比卡lly, a A₂₆₀/A₂₈₀ratio of 1.7-2 is indicative of good quality DNA.

The correct answer is to determine the concentration of protein in a sample. Bradford assays are often used before Western blots in order to normalize the amount of protein being loaded between conditions. Briefy, a small volume of protein lysate is mixed with a reagent and the absorbance at 595nm is compared to known concentration controls to determine the relative protein concentration of the sample.
