CALCULATION  OF  PROTEIN  EXTINCTION  COEFFICIENT



The utility calculates protein molecular and weight coefficients of extinction at 280 nm, basing on the amount of tryptophane (Trp), tyrosine (Tyr) and cysteine (Cys) residues in the structure of a protein molecule. Calculations are founded on method represented by Gill S.C., von Hippel P.H. (Anal. Biochem. 182, pp. 319-326, 1989).

Example: given that a protein molecule contains 4 tryptophanes (Trp), 4 tyrosines (Tyr) and 8 cysteines (Cys) residues one needs to determine molecular and weight coefficients of extinction for a-Lactalbumin (bovine). The protein's molecular weight is 14186 Da (for details see Help).
