Don't be fooled by imidazole! It absorbs UV280, just like protein β on chromatogram it'll be seen! Imidazole is great for purifying His-tagged proteins, but it's a pain for when you want to detect and measure concentration of proteins using UV280 absorbance! youtu.be/JZeTMXfOtGU

Putting a lot of work into a grant that probably won't get funded due to lack of funding in NIH/NSF. So I'm curious scientists: what work were you excited about that didn't get funding?
Non-scientists, this is the work we are missing out on in the US when we don't fully fund NIG/NSF/USDA/etc
