Stable Isotope Standards and Capture by Anti-Peptide Antibodies (SISCAPA) couples affinity enrichment of peptides with stable isotope dilution mass spectrometry (MRM-MS) to provide quantitative measurement of peptides as surrogates for their respective proteins. Here we describe the protocol using magnetic particles in a partially automated format.

Absorbance When light interacts with a substance, a portion of the light is absorbed while the rest is either reflected or transmitted through it. Substances that we perceive as having a color reflect light in the visible range. The color of the substance that we are able to see depends on which wavelength of light is reflected. A substance that we perceive as blue reflects light in the blue range (430 – 480 nm) of the visible spectrum. According to the color wheel, the same substance absorbs...

Source: Laboratory of Dr. B. Jill Venton - University of Virginia Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy is one of the most popular analytical techniques because it is very versatile and able to detect nearly every molecule. With UV-Vis spectroscopy, the UV-Vis light is passed through a sample and the transmittance of light by a sample is measured. From the transmittance (T), the absorbance can be calculated as A=-log (T). An absorbance spectrum is obtained that shows the absorbance of a...
FAQs
The selected wavelength determines where the analyte’s ultraviolet absorption is measured, while path length influences the magnitude of absorbance recorded. Under the Beer-Lambert relationship, increasing path length increases absorbance for the same analyte concentration. Consistent wavelength and path-length conditions therefore support reliable comparisons among samples and accurate concentration calculations.
A calibration curve determines concentration by comparing the sample’s absorbance with measurements from standards of known concentration. A known extinction coefficient allows concentration to be calculated directly when that coefficient is available for the analyte and measurement conditions. These alternatives provide two supported routes for converting absorbance data into concentration values.
Purity assessment adds quality information beyond the estimated concentration of a nucleic-acid or protein preparation. By examining the ultraviolet absorbance behavior of a sample, researchers can evaluate whether the preparation is suitable for further biological work and compare its quality with other preparations. This makes UV measurements useful for experimental quality control.
A typical workflow selects an appropriate ultraviolet wavelength, measures the sample’s absorbance, and converts that measurement into concentration using either a calibration curve or a known extinction coefficient. The calculated values can then be used to compare preparations or assess sample quality. Keeping measurement conditions consistent is important when interpreting differences between samples.
In biology, the method supports concentration measurements for nucleic acids and proteins, two common classes of biomolecular preparations. It can also follow biochemical reactions by measuring changes in ultraviolet absorbance over time or between conditions. These uses help researchers quantify materials, compare preparations, and monitor experimental processes with relatively small sample volumes.
UV spectrometry quantification combines rapid measurement with low sample-volume requirements, making it practical for repeated analyses. Researchers can use the resulting concentration and purity information to check preparations before experiments, compare batches, and identify differences among samples. Its role is especially valuable when biological workflows require frequent measurements without consuming substantial amounts of material.
