  • Title: Determination of proteins and sulfobetaine with the Folin-phenol reagent.
    Author: Ledoux M, Lamy F.
    Journal: Anal Biochem; 1986 Aug 15; 157(1):28-31. PubMed ID: 3766963.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes a method for the quantitative analysis of solutions containing a mixture of proteins and sulfobetaine. In a preliminary step the proteins, which interfere with the detergent assay, are separated by precipitation with trichloroacetic acid (8%). The insoluble fraction, dissolved in NaOH (1.0 N), and the soluble fraction, containing the detergent, are treated with the Folin-Ciocalteu phenol reagent, essentially following the method of O. H. Lowry, N. J. Rosebrough, A. L. Farr, and R. J. Randall (1951, J. Biol. Chem. 193, 265-275). The absorbance of the protein fraction is read, as usual at 750 nm, while that of the detergent solution is read at 342 nm. At this wavelength, sulfobetaine, treated with the Folin reagent, absorbs strongly, the absorbances being proportional to its concentration up to 1.5 mg/ml.
