SYPRO Ruby

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Structure of SYPRO Ruby, if known.

SYPRO Ruby is a fluorescent dye from ruthenium - chelate type, of the staining of proteins in the course of protein characterization is used mostly in a Western Blot , in 2D gels or IEF gels .

properties

SYPRO Ruby selectively binds to basic amino acids of proteins (including glycoproteins ) in SDS - micelles , but not to DNA . The mutagenicity , reproductive toxicity, and carcinogenicity of SYPRO Ruby are unknown. The absorption maxima are at λ = 280 nm and 450 nm, the emission is maximum at λ = 610 nm. The sensitivity of SDS-PA gels with SYPRO Ruby is around 1 ng protein, which is roughly comparable to silver staining . Due to the fluorescence, the SYPRO Ruby staining has a larger linear dynamic range when estimating the quantity compared to the silver staining or Coomassie , ie a better correlation between the amount of protein and the signal intensity. The SYPRO Ruby dyeing has a comparatively longer dyeing time of four hours.
