Our research focuses on understanding at the biochemical level how animals adapt to extreme environmental conditions. We explore questions about their response to lack of oxygen and suppression of metabolic rate. Specifically, we investigate endogenous antioxidants, oxidative stress, and cellularity stress response animals employ in a adverse environment.
And to do so, we often quantify protein levels in our samples. This protocol addresses the need for an alternative method to obtain protein quantification data when resource are limited, making it a valuable tool in both educational and research contexts. The RG Bradford Assay offers a practical and reliable solution for protein concentration measurement that is accessible, simple, and accurate in scenarios where conventional equipment such as a microplate reader may be unavailable.
