Can I use the Pierce 660 nm Protein Assay to quantify peptides?
The Pierce 660 nm Protein Assay can quantify peptides that are at least 2,500 Da if their compositions include amino acid residues that react with the dye-metal reagent (i.e., histidine, arginine, tyrosine, tryptophan and phenylalanine). For peptides smaller than 2,500 Da, use the Fluoraldehyde Reagent Solution (#26025), which detects amino groups.
