Protein Profile of Biopolymers from Marine Lobster Panulirushomarus

Panulirushomarus is an economically important spiny lobster that is widespread through the Indian Ocean in the southern part of Tamilnadu, India. The aim of the study is to analyze the presence of proteins in chitin and chitosan obtained from the shells of crustacean Panulirushomarus. The Quantification of the proteins was determined using the Bradford method and the associated proteins were analyzed by using the SDS PAGE analysis. The Biopolymers chitin and chitosan were studied by using XRD.
