#Follow Protein Lysate instructions for Bradford Assay (see [[Bradford Assay]])
#Prepare samples for gels by adding 160ul lysate, 40ul of 10x reducing agent and 200ul of 2x SDS sample buffer for 400ul total volume.   
#Prepare samples for gels by adding 800 ug protein to a final volume of 200 uL of lysis buffer.  Add 200 uL of 2X loading buffer with B-ME to each lyaste.  This will generate a 2 mg/mL protein solution in SDS Loading Buffer
