General description

SYPRO Ruby protein gel stain is a ready-to-use, ultrasensitive, luminescent stain for the detection of proteins separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). This stain, designed especially for use in 2-D PAGE, has proven to be an excellent choice for 1-D PAGE and isoelectric focusing (IEF) gels as well. SYPRO Ruby protein gel stain attains sensitivity comparable to many silver stain techniques. However, unlike silver staining, the SYPRO Ruby gel stain:
  • uses a simple staining protocol, with no possibility of overstaining
  • delivers a linear quantitation range of over three orders of magnitude
  • shows less protein-to-protein variability
  • stains glycoproteins, lipoproteins, calcium-binding proteins, fibrillar proteins, and other difficult-to-stain proteins
  • will not stain extraneous nucleic acids
  • does not interfere with subsequent analysis of proteins by Edman-based sequencing or mass spectrometry

Application

SYPRO ruby protein gel stain has been used for staining of the proteins after sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).

Caution

Protect from light.

Primmorphs (a three-dimensional sponge primary cell culture system) have been revealed to be a cell/tissue nano-factory for the production of tailor-made hybrid nanostructures. Growth of primmorphs is stimulated by the presence of a titanium alkoxide precursor tolerating titania (TiO2) concentrations

Truncating mutations in the giant sarcomeric protein Titin result in dilated cardiomyopathy and skeletal myopathy. The most severely affected dilated cardiomyopathy patients harbor Titin truncations in the C-terminal two-thirds of the protein, suggesting that mutation position might influence disease mechanism.
