A novel procedure for determining molar extinction coefficients (EM), and hence protein concentrations, has been tested on ribonuclease A, bovine serum albumin, β-lactoglobulins A and B, α-lactalbumin, chymotrypsinogen A, and lysozyme. EMvalues were obtained from a combination of the absorption spectrum of the native protein and a difference spectrum generated between two aliquots of a thermolysin digest of the protein titrated to pH 1.5 and pH ≥ 13. Enzymatic digestion was shown to minimize conformational contributions to the difference spectrum. The EMof the native protein is then calculated from the tyrosine molarity of the digest and the previously determined tyrosine content of the protein. These EMvalues displayed a maximum error of −2.2% and an average absolute error of 1.4%. Samples as small as 100 μg give satisfactory results. Accurate sample weight and assumptions with regard to moisture and ash content are not required. In addition, the use of second-derivative (second-order) absorption spectroscopy to access the degree of spectral normalization produced by enzymatic digestion is described.
