    If the calibration curve is a straight line, it must follow the general form, y=mx+b. Thus, the equation must be: A = 0.0182x + 0.007. The corrected absorbance is:

    Corrected Absorbance = 0.308 - 0.072 = 0.236

    Substitute this to the formula to find x.

    0.236 = 0.0182x + 0.007

    Solving for x,

    x = 12.58

    Thus, the concentration of the protein at this absorbance is 12.58 μg.
