A simple and rapid method for the quantitation of proteins separated either by sodium dodecyl sulfate-electrophoresis or by isoelectric focusing in slab gels is presented. The method is based on the solubility of polyacrylamide gels crosslinked with N, N'-1, 2-dihydroxyethylenebisacrylamide (DHEBA) in periodic acid. After electrophoretic separation proteins are stained with Coomassie brilliant blue G-250. DHEBA gels show considerable swelling during the staining and destaining process but can be shrunk to their normal size in a 10% (w/v) solution of ammonium sulfate. Stained bands are cut from the gel and solubilized in periodic acid. During dissolution the dye decolorizes. Protein concentration in the solution is determined by a modified Coomassie dye-binding assay. Quantitation is linear in the range of 100 ng to 5 micrograms and not disturbed by dissolved gel. Separations in N, N'-1, 2-dihydroxyethylenebisacrylamide-crosslinked gels show qualities similar to those in normal crosslinked gels.
