Proteomic techniques such as two dimensional electrophoresiscan be used to study the entire proteome i.e. all the proteincontent of cells.

Learning Objectives:

After interacting with this learning object, the learner will beable to:

• Identify the mechanism involved in the detection.• Operate the steps used in colorimeter.

• Infer the law governing the colorimetric analysis.

• Assess the troubleshooting steps involved in the experiments.

• Perform the experiment to test the presence of amino acidin the sample.

Note: The current IDD exists in two modes- interactive and automatic.Students taking lab course should select interactive (set as default),while the automatic mode may be selected for general users.

Quantitative Estimation of Amino Acids

Colorimeter works on the basis of Beer-Lambert's law;the law relates the absorbance and the concentrationof the solution. In the equation, L signifies the pathlength, C concentration, ε(epsilon) absorptioncoefficient and I0 and I corresponds to the intensity oflight before entering the solution and the intensity ofemergent light from the solution, respectively.
