3. INTRODUCTION
• Proteins?
– A macromolecule composed of one or more polypeptide chains,
each with a characteristic sequence of amino acids linked by
peptide bond.
• The main functions of proteins in human body are:
They serve as body building units, e.g., muscle proteins.
They provide support and protection to various tissues, e.g.,
collagen and keratin.
All chemical reactions in the body are catalysed by proteinaceous
enzymes, e.g., trypsin.
They transport various molecules and ions from one organ to the
other, e.g., hemoglobin, serum albumin.
They store and provide nutrients, e.g., milk casein, ovalbumin.
They defend the body from harmful foreign organisms, e.g.,
immunoglobulin’s, fibrinogen.
They help to regulate cellular or physiological activity, e.g.,
hormones, viz., insulin, GH.

7. Protein characterization:
• The characterization of protein, which can be
based on protein size, shape, and sequence
concentration, and physiochemical properties
such as isoelectric point, molecular weight,
relative hydrophobicity, and spectral analysis.

9. Determination Of Protein Concentration
1. Biuret test
• When peptide bonds are present in
this alkaline solution, the Cu2+ions will
form a coordination complex with
4 nitrogen atoms from peptide bonds.
• The complex of Cu2+ ions and nitrogen
atoms make the color
of CuSO4 solution changes
from blue to violet.
• The intensity of the color is proportional
to the protein concentration.

20. CONCLUSION
Protein characterization involves the use of experimental methods
that allow for the detection and isolation of a protein and its
purification, as well as the characterization of its structure and
function.
The analysis of the resulting protein products can be complex and
challenging. However, accurate characterization of the final protein
that was either purified from natural sources or expressed in
different cell cultures or as a part of a drug development process is
an essential step.
The complex structure and larger size of proteins, as well as the
intrinsic nature of each protein, makes the characterization of
proteins inherently more complicated than the characterization of
smaller molecules.
