Description and Uses

Bovine serum albumin is a protein which has a key role in regulating blood colloidal osmotic pressure. A water-soluble protein composed of 583 amino acids, BSA has a calculated molecular weight of 66,430 Daltons. Six α-helices form three homologous domains of BSA. Depending on pH, BSA undergoes reversible conformational isomerization. The native structure of the protein becomes reactive and flexible on heating.
This BSA product is specifically evaluated and tested for the following properties:
Very low protease content / protease-free
Very low fatty acid content / fatty acid-free
Protease-free BSA is especially useful for applications like:
Enzyme assays
Protein-based assays
Protease-sensitive techniques that include:
a. Enzyme immunoassay (EIA)
b. Nucleic acid hybridization
c. Radioimmunoassay (RIA)

BSA has various uses in molecular biology applications, such as:

• As an added component in solutions of enzymes or of other proteins, to prevent adhesion of the enzyme or other protein of interest to the reaction tube surface or to pipette surfaces
• As an inert enzyme or protein stabilizer during incubation, to allow the enzyme or protein of interest to function properly
