ObjectiveThree sets of activities today. Everyone will be working on protease experiments.
Ocean OpticsUse your previous protocol for this Bradford Analysis of Protease DegradationNote: You will be making samples for analysis at different points of time. So plan wisely. All samples will be incubated in eppendorf tubes, which will be placed in the 35C water bath on the shaker. Samples should all contain the same concentration of materials. You should make samples for measurements at 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hr, 1.5 hr, 2 hr. (Note, this is for the first time you do this. As you get better, I will expect you to get more measurements done).
