β¦ Synopsis
The utilization of 2-methoxy-2,4-diphenyl-3(2H)-furanone (MDPF) as a fluorescent label for proteins in SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophresis is described. The procedure is very sensitive and detects disks containing as little as 1 ng of protein. The fluorescence signal is linear with concentration of protein to 500 ng. Emphasis is placed on the use of MDPF-labeled proteins as standards for the estimation of molecular weights of fluorescamine-labeled proteins. Data are provided which demonstrate the need for only three standard proteins in the molecular weight curve. Finally, the relative mobilities of proteins from nonreplicate determinations exhibited an average variation of only 3.9%.

A convenient method was established for the M(r) estimation by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of large polypeptides in the range from 250,000 to 600,000. Such polypeptides had previously been shown to migrate improperly in various gel electrophoresis systems. In a conventi
We recently demonstrated that the combined use of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) reverse staining and high-efficiency passive elution techniques can be successfully used as a suitable interface between LPS slab-gel separation and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) of LPS-derived oligosacch
