BCA (bicinchoninic acid) is a perfect protein assay method, it serves the purpose of the Folin reagent in the Lowry assay, namely to react with complexes between copper ions and peptide bonds to produce a purple end product. This method is favored by professionals for its high sensitivity, stability, reliability, and small variation coefficient on different kinds of protein detections. Determination of the protein concentration with BCA is not influenced by chemical substances in majority of the samples. For example, in tissue and cell lysate experiments, the test results were not affected by common detergents (SDS, Triton X-100, Tween), but will be influenced by chelant (EDTA, EGTA), deoxidizer (DTT, mercaptoethanol) and lipid. So, in the assay, if the background of the sample diluent buffer or lysis buffer is high, end user can try to use Bradford Protein Assay Kit (Catalog abx090644). This kit can work well here.

Research Articles on BCA Protein Assay Kit RNA Interference Products RNA干扰（RNA interference, RNAi）是指在进化过程中高度保守的、由双链RNA（double-stranded RNA，dsRNA）诱发的、同源mRNA高效特异性降解的现象。基因沉默，主要有转录前水平的基因沉默(TGS)和转录后水平的基因沉默(PTGS)两类:TGS是指由于DNA修饰或染色体异染色质化等原因使基因不能正常转录;PTGS是启动了细胞质内靶mRNA序列特异性的降解机制。有时转基因会同时导致TGS和PTGS。 由于使用RNAi技术可以特异性剔除或关闭特定基因的表达，（长度超过三十的dsRNA会引起干扰素毒性）所以该技术已被广泛用于探索基因功能和传染性疾病及恶性肿瘤的治疗领域。
