To prepare the protein assay reagent, the author dissolved Coomassie G-250 in 95% ethanol.
Then, he added phosphoric acid. What was the purpose of adding the phosphoric acid? Hint:
Pre-lab videos may help you answer this question.
O Phosphoric acid will increase the pH and deprotonate all of the sulfonate groups on the
Coomassie G 250 dye. The protonated form of the dye is blue in color.
Phosphoric acid will decrease the pH and protonate all of the sulfonate groups on the
Coomassie G 250 dye. The protonated form of the dye is red/brown in color.
