Cutting-edge spectroscopy methods for protein analysis

Accurately and rapidly quantifying protein content is essential for modern biology, biochemistry, and biophysics laboratories worldwide. Researchers are focused on determining total protein content, along with protein classification, identification, and proteomics. Although various tools are available to explore the complexities of proteins, absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy remain the cornerstone techniques in any protein lab.

This article provides an overview of the specific ways these spectroscopic approaches are applied in protein analysis. To emphasize the importance of these techniques, Avantes focuses on a particularly intriguing class of proteins known as albumin.
