Mar 09, 2020 · See Page 1. Coomassie Brilliant Blue gives otherwise colorless proteins a blue color through the interaction between the dye and polypeptides. Coomassie brilliant blue does not work for low abundance proteins. The identification of proteins that are binding to antibodies is done through the use of Western blot analysis (Mahmood et al. 2012).
The purpose of Coomassie Brilliant Blue is to visualize the proteins resolved by SDS-PAGE. Coomassie blue binds to the proteins and stains all of them blue. The purpose of Western Blotting is to separate and identify specific proteins within a mixture of proteins.

It is an organic dye that makes complexes with basic amino acids, such as lysine, …
Description. Coomassie blue dyes are a family of dyes commonly used to stain proteins in SDS-PAGE gels. The gels are soaked in dye, and excess stain is then eluted with a solvent ("destaining"). This treatment allows the visualization of proteins as blue bands on a clear background.
It is generally called the coomassie blue technique. Coomassie brilliant blue is the most popular anionic protein-dye. This stain normally stains almost all proteins with good quantitative linearity at medium sensitivity. Coomassie brilliant blue stain binds non-specifically to almost all proteins.Oct 26, 2021
Coomassie blue staining: Coomassie blue staining is the widely used method for staining SDS-PAGE gels.Jun 18, 2019
Add 100mL of reagent grade acetic acid and adjust the total volume to 1000 mL with HPLC grade water. The final concentrations are 50% (v/v) methanol in water with 10% (v/v) acetic acid. 3. Stain: Dissolve 0.4g of Coomassie blue R350 in 200 mL of 40% (v/v) HPLC grade methanol in water with stirring as needed.
Coomassie Blue stain is used to stain the protein bands in polyacrylamide gels. One common way to use it is to dissolve the dye in a mixture of methanol, acetic acid, and water. This stain will permeate the gel, stain the protein, and also fix the protein in place.
Principle. The Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 dye has three forms: anionic (blue), neutral (green), and cationic (red). In an acidic environment, the red dye is converted into its blue form after binding to the protein of interest. If no protein binds to the dye, then the solution will remain brown.
Ponceau S Staining Solution and Coomassie Brilliant Blue Stain allow for the visualization of protein transfers after electrophoresis. They are important for confirming protein transfer and presence of the target of interest, saving time and valuable resources in your experiments.
Stain the mini-gel with enough Invitrogen™ SimplyBlue™ SafeStain (20-100 ml) to cover the gel. Stain for 1 hour at room temperature with gentle shaking. Bands will begin to develop within minutes. After incubation, discard the stain.
Bromophenol blue is used primarily as a tracking dye in SDS-PAGE. It is used at a final concentration of 0.01%. It can also be used as a tracking dye in IEF tube gels or ReadyStrip IPG strip gels. In IEF tube gels, it is loaded with the sample at the basic end of the gel, and runs down to the anode.
As with all staining methods, Coomassie staining detects some proteins better than others, based on the chemistry of action and differences in protein composition. Thus, Coomassie staining can detect as little as 8–10 ng per band for some proteins and 25 ng per band for most proteins.
5.1 Reagents Dissolve 100 mg Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 in 50 ml of 95% ethanol and add 100 ml of 85% phosphoric acid while stirring continuously. When the dye has dissolved dilute to 1 l in water.
In acidic conditions, Coomassie dye primarily binds basic amino acids (arginine, lysine and histidine).
