Simulated digestion breaks protein into peptides, so using Bradford method will be an accurate method or not? Please suggest me. Also suggest any other chemical methods with references.
The Bradford method for protein quantification will not be ideal for peptide quantification. I would recommend the Pierce™ Quantitative Colorimetric Peptide Assay for measuring peptides in solution.
The Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ Quantitative Colorimetric Peptide Assay is an easy-to-use colorimetric microplate assay designed specifically to improve the sensitivity and reproducibility of quantitation of peptide mixtures.
Sensitive—accurately detect as little as 25 µg/mL of peptide mixture
Robust—assay performance rigorously tested using peptide digest mixtures
Robust peptide digest standard—kit includes a validated peptide digest standard for improved reproducibility of quantitation
Compatible—works with many reagents, including mass spectrometry sample preparation reagents and TMT™-labeled peptides
Convenient—easy mix-and read-format and stable colorimetric signal that may be read in as little as 15 minutes.
