The Bio-Rad Flamingo Fluorescent Gel Stain has a very linear profile
with protein concentration (if you believe the standard curves in the
manual). In my hands it gives nice results for binding assays.

Dear Crystallographers,
I remember having seen on this listserve that coomassie stain is
horribly non-linear in intensity per protein concentration, which
leads me to two questions:
1. Does anybody have a reference for quantitation of coomassie's
linearity (and possibly other stains), i.e. where and how extensive
the linear range is, and
2. Can anybody suggest a more linear protein gel stain?
Thanks,
Jacob Keller
