Biuret assays are biochemical tests utilized to measure protein concentration in biological samples. This method relies on the formation of a blue-colored complex, known as the biuret complex, when proteins react with copper(II) ions in an alkaline solution. The intensity of the blue color is directly proportional to the protein concentration in the sample, allowing […]

Basics Of Lyopholized Reagents
Lyophilized reagents, also commonly referred to as freeze-dried reagents, are useful in research, diagnostics, and biotech development. The process of lyophilization, which these reagents undergo, involves freezing the substance and then subjecting it to reduced pressure to remove water via sublimation. This preservation technique ensures the longevity of the reagents and maintains their structural and […]
Lectins
Lectins are a diverse group of proteins or glycoproteins found in plants, animals, and microorganisms that have the ability to bind to specific carbohydrate molecules. These carbohydrate-binding proteins play various roles in biological processes, including cell-cell interactions, cell signaling, host-pathogen interactions, and immune responses. In plants, lectins are often involved in defense mechanisms against predators […]
