UV Absorption Spectrophotometry Beer-Lambert Law I Transmitta nce : T 10cl Io or alternativ ely Absorbance : A log T cl c = concentration l = path length = extinction coefficient An Absorbance = 2 means that only 1% of the incident beam is getting through. Transmittance and Absorbance Absorbance vs. Concentration Transmittance vs. Concentration Second Question How can I spot my protein in the great mass of different proteins?

The vesicles fuse with an endosome. Many ricin molecules are returned to the cell surface by exocytosis, or the vesicles may fuse to lysosomes where the ricin would be destroyed. If the ricin-containing vesicles fuse to the Trans Golgi Network, (TGN), there ís still a chance they may return to the cell surface. Toxic action will occur when RTA, aided by RTB, penetrates the TGN membrane and is liberated into the cytosol. Ricin Action • Ricin and related enzymes remove an adenine base from the large ribosomal RNA • Shut down protein synthesis The possibility that ricin might be used as an asymmetric warfare weapon has not escaped the attention of the armed services. The last time I was qualified to know for sure, there were no effective antidotes.

Raw Extract (NH4)2SO4 Cut Affinity Gel Filtration Separation by chromatography Basic Idea: You have a stationary phase You have a mobile phase Your material partitions out between the phases. Affinity Chromatography Structure of Agarose Agarose is a polymer of agarobiose, which in turn consists of one unit each of galactose and 3,6-anhydro-a-L-galactose. Ricin sticks to galactose, so store-bought agarose acts as an affinity column right out of the bottle, with ricin binding the beads while other proteins wash through.
