Your Answer: Answer units It is possible to estimate the molar extinction coefficient of a protein from knowledge of its amino acid composition, as shown from your experiences with EXPASY. From the molar extinction coefficient of tyrosine, tryptophan and cystine (cysteine does not absorb appreciably at wavelengths >260 nm, while cystine does) at a given wavelength, the extinction coefficient of the native protein in water can be computed using the following equation: e(Protein) = #(Tyr)*E(Tyr) + #(Trp)*E(Trp) + #(Cystine)*E(Cystine) Where (if A280 measured in water): E (Tyr) = 1490, ɛ (Trp) = 5500, e (Cystine) = 125 Estimate the molar extinction coefficient of lysozyme using the above equation and the amino acid composition data you found…
