The following points highlight the top two methods used for the estimation of proteins. The methods are: 1. Lowry’s Method 2. Bradford’s (1976) Method. 1. Lowry’s Method: This method gives a moderately constant value of proteins. Hence protein content of enzymes is usually determined by this method. Principle: Amino acids tryptophan and tyrosine present in […]

Estimation of Cellulose | Plant Biotechnology
In this article we will discuss about the principle, requirements and procedure for estimation of cellulose. Cellulose is the major component in plants. It is composed of glucose molecules joined together in the form of repeating units of cellobiose with several cross linkages. Principle: With acetic/nitric reagents cellulose undergoes acetolysis forming acetylated cellod-extrins. These cellodextrins […]
