Hi Alex, the binding of Coomassie Brilliant Blue R to proteins roughly correlates with the number of positive charges (about 1.5-3 dye molecules/charge; JBC 216, 9976-9980) whereas the SDS is thought to bind/align to the protein backbone during/after heat denaturation (roughly 1 SDS per 2

Hi, At high concentration (1-2%) the published saturating SDS:protein binding ratio is about 1.4:1 by weight, that is roughly one SDS molecule per two aa on average. It is dense but not that dense to prevent any further interaction. More importantly, as a quite hydrophilic small molecule SDS

2018-10-04 Thread Alex Lee
Dear All, I am thinking that in an SDS-PAGE experiment, if protein samples are boiled in SDS containing loading dye, and supposedly SDS interacts with proteins, why the Coomassie Blue dyes could still interact with and stain the proteins? I am thinking SDS is covering the proteins, making no
