Analyzing protein sample via UV-Vis
Soulja:
Hey all,
I am working on a project involving an extraction of an allergen protein. I was able to extract it from the raw source, and it is currently in a freezer. My work requires me to analyze it via several methods of analysis. I am having trouble running my protein via UV-Vis; the main problem being that my protein just doesn't seem to be soluble in any solvents I use. So far I've tried acetone and methanol (which was used in the extraction process), but i've had no luck with sonication and stirring. Does anyone have any potential suggestions?
THanks.

How about water?
Orcio_87:
Water may not help if the methanol denatured the protein.
Corribus:
What are you hoping that UV-Vis will tell you?
