β¦ Synopsis
A rapid and sensitive protein staining method employing a mixed dye technique has been developed. Solutions of Coomassie brilliant blue R-250 (CB, 0.2%) and Bismark brown R (BBR, 0.05%) were mixed in the volume ratio of 1:0.75 for staining (final molar ratio, 4.5:1). In this staining, BBR inhibits the binding of CB to gel matrix by forming ion-pairing complex with excess CB; therefore, it reduces staining/destaining times and also enhances the staining effect of CB on protein band. As a result, the mixed dye staining enables complete staining/destaining within 20/25 min and detection of up to 25 ng of bovine serum albumin.

A new staining procedure for proteins in polyacrylamide gels has been developed. This procedure, utilizing Coomassie brilliant blue G250, is rapid (as quick as 30 min) and simple to perform, requires little or no destaining, and has a sensitivity of a least 1 pg of protein per band. It can be used t
A method of staining polyacrylamide gels in which the dye is electrophoresed together with the sample is proposed. The method cuts short and simplifies the conventional electrophoresis procedure by eliminating the separate poststaining step. In the gels run in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate,
