Before you perform any protein assays on an sample of unknown protein concentration, how can you figure out the protein concentration range? Presumably, Bradford and Lowry assays work on certain protein ranges. If you had a sample of unknown concentration how would you determine its concentration range? Step by step if you could

Answer #1

By only looking at the protein sample, we cannot determine if the concentration of unknown proteins is less or more than the protein standard.

First, we need to compare the OD of the unknown protein sample and the standard protein sample. If the OD of the unknown sample is more than the standard solution, then we need to dilute it so that it is less than the highest concentration of the standard solution. if the OD is less then we can proceed with the Bradford assay or Lowry assay.
