Objective Determine the protein concentration of the MBP-intein and GFP proteins. Also, run intein chemistry reactions overnight. Description UV-Vis of Proteins Place 10x dilute MBP-intein in the UV-Vis, and take a spectrum from 200nm to 800nm. Repeat with the mutated GFP protein. Analyze both spectrums to determine concentration.

A=εbc, where A485=0.033, b=1cm, and ε=61000cm-1M-1 The diluted concentration is calculated as 0.54μM. The concentration of the stock GFP is 5.4μM. The corrected absorbance of the MBP-intein protein at 280nm is 0.02. A=εbc, where A280=0.033, b=1cm, and ε=77600cm-1M-1 The diluted concentration is calculated as 0.26μM. The concentration of the stock MBP-intein is 2.6μM.
