Lowrymääritys
Lowrymääritys, often referred to as the Lowry method, is a biochemical assay used to determine the total concentration of protein in a solution. Developed by Oliver H. Lowry and his colleagues in 1951, it is a colorimetric assay, meaning it relies on a color change that is proportional to the amount of protein present.
The method is based on the reduction of the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent by certain amino acid residues in
The Lowry method is known for its sensitivity and is capable of detecting protein concentrations in the
