Exploring DNA Absorption at 260nm in Molecular Biology

In summary, molecular biology photometry is a technique that uses a spectrophotometer to measure the absorbance of light by molecules in a sample. This allows for the quantification of DNA, RNA, and proteins in molecular biology experiments. It is a fast, accurate, and non-destructive method with relatively low cost. However, it requires a pure sample and cannot detect molecules with low absorbance or distinguish between different types of molecules. It is also limited to measuring molecules with aromatic rings, such as DNA, RNA, and proteins.

What have you found so far in your searching? What do you find when you use that phrase in a Google search? :wink:
