Non-decoloured In-gel Digestion of Coomassie Blue-stained Proteins

A simplified method is presented for tryptic digestion of Coomassie brilliant blue(CBB)-stained proteins in polyacrylamide gels. Compared with conventional methods, the proposed method does not require a re-moval of the dye before digestion, and is thus faster and saves a lot of labor. The resulted...

Zusammenfassung:A simplified method is presented for tryptic digestion of Coomassie brilliant blue(CBB)-stained proteins in polyacrylamide gels. Compared with conventional methods, the proposed method does not require a re-moval of the dye before digestion, and is thus faster and saves a lot of labor. The resulted digest canbe ana-lyzed by either RPLC/ESIMS or MALDI MS for identification of the protein in a conventional way. Model studies with bovine serum albumin(BSA) showed that 50 ng of the protein could be routinely identified. The simplified procedure displays a tendency to produce more incompletely cleaved peptides, which is favorable for improving the sequence coverage.
