In yeast, Cdc6 is a highly unstable protein, with a half-life of <5 minutes. It is synthesized during G1 and typically binds to ORC between the exit from mitosis and late G1.

Molecular events might lead to deviations from the Beer–Lambert law. For instance, chromophores might dimerise at high concentrations and, as a result, might possess different spectroscopic parameters.

Bacterial cultures do not absorb the incoming light. Instead, the light is scattered and thus, the spectrometer will record an apparent absorbance (sometimes also called attenuance). In this case, the observed parameter is called optical density (OD).

In electrophoresis because of the varying charges and masses, of different molecules

and particles of a mixture will migrate at different velocities under uniform force and

will thus be separated into single fractions.
