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
