Abstract

Quantitative tests for protein are essential for understanding the amount of protein present in a sample. Various tests have been developed, such as BCA, biuret, Bradford, and Lowry tests. These are the most common and standardised procedures for the determination of protein. The mentioned techniques are colourimetric assays. However, over a while, several more advanced techniques are also being developed. In this chapter, quantitative methods for protein are discussed.
