摘要
Proteins in polyacrylamide gels can be rapidly visualized by soaking in trichloroacetic acid or chloroform followed by UV reaction of tryptophan in the presence of trichlorocompounds yields products that emit sufficiently in the visible region to identify the location of the protein bands on the gel. This method can be used to rapidly identify protein bands on a gel in less than 20 min. On thin polyacrylamide gels, 1.0 mug of protein can easily be detected for proteins with typical tryptophan percentages. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science.
