A simple method for the extraction of Coomassie brilliant blue R from stained protein bands excised from polyacrylamide gels is described. Spectrophotometric measurement of the eluted dye forms the basis of a sensitive assay to quantitate proteins in gels in the range 0.5-10 micrograms. The method r

Quantitation of Submicrogram Amounts of Protein
Using Coomassie Brilliant Blue R on Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-Polyacrylamide Slab-Gels A sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide slab-gel system was used to study the use of Coomassie brilliant blue (CB) as a quantitative stain. Quantitation curves are shown for tubulin, cytochrome c, histone, and actin from gels stained with CB. A comparison was made of three identical gels using an actin sample and stained with CB, fast green and buffalo black. CB staining was found to be quantitative in the 0.05-2.75pg range as well as possessing an order of magnitude increase in sensitivity over other stains tested.
Methods
Gels. The polyacrylamide thin (16 X 12 X 0.08 cm) slab-gel system of Laemmli (6) and O'Farrell et al. ( 7) was used, giving gels with an acrylamide concentration of 12% and a sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) 347
