Measurements on three different days, mean ± SEM. ε, published extinction coefficients; A, measured absorbance of the stock solution; C, protein concentration of the stock solution estimated as A/ε.
Calculated from molar extinction coefficients for tyrosine (1.49 mM−1) and tryptophan (5.5 mM−1; from Oregon Medical Laser Center).
