[Quantitative protein estimation following standardized concentration of diluted physiological fluids (author's transl)]. 1976

K Eickhoff

After the tenfold concentration of 1:100 diluted standard solutions in the Minicon B-15 concentrator, the quantitative determination of total protein and of ten single proteins showed a decreased yield. These losses are not standardizable. The reason is analyzed and discussed. Therefore, the quantitative estimation of single proteins by means of immunochemical methods as well as the densitometry of electrophoreses of dilute protein solutions following concentration should be interpreted with caution, because changes in the absolute and relative concentration of proteins are to be expected. These methods are not suitable for exact measurements. An unstandardizable correction coefficient ought to be considered.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008567	Membranes, Artificial	Artificially produced membranes, such as semipermeable membranes used in artificial kidney dialysis (RENAL DIALYSIS), monomolecular and bimolecular membranes used as models to simulate biological CELL MEMBRANES. These membranes are also used in the process of GUIDED TISSUE REGENERATION.	Artificial Membranes,Artificial Membrane,Membrane, Artificial
D011506	Proteins	Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.
