The accuracy and sensitivity of protein determination by the rapid and convenient Bradford assay is compromised by intrinsic nonlinearity. We show a simple linearization procedure that greatly increases the accuracy, improves the sensitivity of the assay about 10-fold, and significantly reduces interference by detergents.

The amperometric technique measures dopamine release from a single cell by detecting the oxidative current produced by spontaneous dopamine oxidization. Simultaneous voltage clamp and amperometry methodology reveal the mechanistic relationship between the overall "activity" of dopamine transporter and the regulatory role of this activity on the reverse transport of dopamine.
FAQs
When voltage is plotted vertically against current horizontally, the slope represents resistance. A straight line with a consistent slope indicates that the voltage-to-current ratio remains constant across the measured range. Consequently, the graph converts experimental voltage and current values into a quantitative resistance value while also showing whether that value remains stable during the test.
Constant temperature helps ensure that temperature changes do not alter the component’s electrical behavior during measurement. If temperature varies, the graph may depart from a straight line even as voltage and current are recorded correctly. Controlling this condition makes the relationship easier to interpret and provides a fairer test of proportional behavior and Ohm’s law.
A changing slope or curved voltage-current graph indicates that the component does not maintain one constant voltage-to-current relationship across the tested range. This departure can be associated with changing temperature or material properties. Examining the shape therefore helps distinguish components that behave linearly from those whose electrical response changes as operating conditions change.
The procedure begins by obtaining corresponding voltage values across a component and current values flowing through it under the selected test conditions. These paired measurements are plotted with voltage against current. A straight-line pattern can then be assessed, and its slope determined to obtain resistance. Repeated measurements across a range provide evidence about consistency.
An experiment can compare the plotted voltage-current pattern with the behavior expected for an ohmic conductor at constant temperature. A straight line supports proportionality between voltage and current, while a departure suggests that the component does not maintain linear behavior under the tested conditions. The graph therefore links measured data with a direct assessment of Ohm’s law.
The graph provides both a resistance estimate and a visual assessment of how a component behaves over the measured range. Researchers can use it to identify stable linear behavior, detect departures associated with temperature or material properties, and evaluate electrical devices. This makes the graph useful for comparing observed component behavior with the expected circuit response.
