A new method for the fast, reliable and reproducible submicrogram quantitation of proteins separated by different electrophoretic techniques is presented. The method is based on a modified sensitive staining technique using Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 in colloidal solution combined with an optimized elution procedure of the bound dye in a 3% w/v solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate followed by photometric determination of dye concentration in the eluate. In addition a new method is provided for background correction, even suitable for gels showing strong background staining. The staining procedure allows the detection of 20 ng depending on the nature of the protein and the separation technique used. Quantitation is linear at least in the range from 50 ng to 10 micrograms and highly reproducible even under non-optimized conditions. The presented method can be applied to sodium dodecyl sulfate-electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing and two-dimensional electrophoresis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007525 Isoelectric Focusing Electrophoresis in which a pH gradient is established in a gel medium and proteins migrate until they reach the site (or focus) at which the pH is equal to their isoelectric point. Electrofocusing,Focusing, Isoelectric
D008832 Microchemistry The development and use of techniques and equipment to study or perform chemical reactions, with small quantities of materials, frequently less than a milligram or a milliliter.
D009113 Muramidase A basic enzyme that is present in saliva, tears, egg white, and many animal fluids. It functions as an antibacterial agent. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrin.
