DEDICATION
This project is dedicated to the Lord God Almighty; the immortal, the invincible, and the only wise; for His love, mercy, favour and grace in making this piece of work a success.
Also, to my lovely parents, Mr and Mrs Adewumi whose support in terms of prayer, finance, and encouragement, sustained me throughout the period of putting this work together.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
It is indeed with a great pleasure and warmness that I appreciate the unfading love of the King of kings and the Lord of lords; the God Almighty who is the only reason for my existence. May His name be praised!
My profound appreciation goes to my supervisor, Prof. J.O. Ajele, who is, without any iota of doubt, a man of intellectual benevolence. As a matter of fact, your impact in my life is beyond academics. Your love for your students is worth of emulation.
I will not forget in a hurry the effort of Mr Femi Bamidele to this project. You are, indeed, a rare pebble that falls into the ocean of academics whose wave will move thousands of miles ashore. Though I have nothing to offer you but all I know is that the Lord will

    Next, transferred 200 uL of the crude extract to a set of microcentrifuge tube; the blank is created by adding 200 uL of the homogenizing buffer. Then 800 uL of pre-filtered dye reagent was added to each tube and vortexed for additional 10 seconds, followed by an incubation period of 10 minutes (Course Supplement for Bio 101, p. 71). We transferred 500 uL of the solution to the cuvette and measured the absorbance to 595nm. Using the BSA stock solution (2mg/mL=2000 ug/mL), we prepared the concentration of the protein standard by carrying out serial dilution at 2x, 5x, 10x, 20x and 40x. The 2x dilution was made by mixing 250 uL of BSA and 250 of the homogenizing buffer. The solution was then vortexed for 10 seconds. A similar procedure with different concentration of BSA and stock solution was carried out to find the other diluted concentrations. After the dilutions were made, 200 uL of the BSA concentration from the diluted tubes (2x, 5x etc.) were transferred to another microcentrifuge tube and 800 uL of filtered Bradford dye reagent was added to each microcentrifuge containing the BSA standard (Course Supplement for Bio 101, p. 72). The blank solution was created by adding 200 uL of homogenizing of the buffer. Then we incubated the tubes for 10 minutes and inverted 5 times before transferring 500 uL of the solution from each tube to the corresponding spectrometer cuvette; the absorbance was measured at 595 nm. The proper procedures were followed to discard the…
