The purpose of this experiment is to find the unknown concentration of two different proteins; the gamma globulin, and the bovine serum albumin. The measurement is done in the spectrophotometer by using the method of the Bradford Essay with the Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 dye, as a reagent. To identify the unknowns, first a colorimetric assay of both proteins with known concentrations is executed, and the data in plotted in two standard curves respectively. Finally, the unknown absorbance measurements
