Question

What is the role of folin ciocalteu reagent in protein estimation?

Answer 1

The Folin–Ciocalteu reagent (FCR) or Folin's phenol reagent or Folin–Denis reagent, also called the gallic acid equivalence method (GAE), is a mixture of phosphomolybdate and phosphotungstate used for the colorimetric in vitro assay of phenolic and polyphenolic antioxidants.

$\bold{\blue{Here\:is\:your\: answer\: }}$

The Lowry method is based on the reaction of Cu+, produced by the oxidation of peptide bonds, with Folin–Ciocalteu reagent (a mixture of phosphotungstic acid and phosphomolybdic acid in the Folin–Ciocalteu reaction). ... The result of this reaction is an intense blue molecule known as heteropolymolybdenum Blue.
