A standard curve was generated using known amounts of bovine serum albumin (BSA). Four microfuge tubes were set up and 200ul of Bradford reagent were added to each tube and 1ul of whole cell extract was added to each appropriate tube. Entire sample of four tubes were transferred to four wells on 96-well microtiter
