Abstract:
A novel fluorescent staining protocol to detect phosphoproteins in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels using a fluorescence sensor, 1-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthylazo)-2-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid sodium salt (Calcon), was developed. This method yields results within 135 min, with the sensitivities of 15 ng of α-casein and β-casein, and 62.5 ng of κ-casein, respectively. Since non-phosphoproteins have shown negative signals that are distinctly different from positive signals of phosphoproteins, this detection method allows one to monitor phosphoproteins with high specificity. Furthermore, a total protein profile can be achieved before a destaining step using a scanner with rapid and low-cost without further total protein staining.

SDS-PAGE
A variation of gel electrophoresis, termed polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), is commonly used for separating proteins according to their molecular size by passing them through a polyacrylamide gel. Because of the varying charges associated with amino acid side chains, PAGE can be used to separate intact...
