Description:
ColorPlus Prestained Protein Marker, Broad Range includes a mixture of purified proteins covalently coupled to colored dye that resolves to 8 bands of even intensity, including one orange and one green reference band for easy orientation when electrophoresed (1). The covalent coupling of the dye to the proteins affects their electrophoretic behavior in SDS-PAGE gels relative to unstained proteins (1). For precise molecular weight determinations, use NEB's unstained Protein Marker, Broad Range (NEB #P7702) or Protein Ladder (NEB #P7703) in addition to the prestained marker.

Contents: 0.1-0.2 mg/ml of each protein in 50 mM NaCl, 63.5 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.0 @ 25°C), 1 mM Na2EDTA, 2% (w/v) SDS, 40 mM DTT, 0.01% (w/v) phenol red and 10% glycerol.





10-20% SDS PAGE. This marker was recently recalibrated using the Protein Ladder (NEB #P7703), and the revised apparent molecular weights are shown. The formulation of the marker is unchanged.

Notes


General notes:
  1. * MBP = maltose-binding protein. MBP-β-galactosidase = fusion of MBP and β-galactosidase. MBP-truncated-β-galactosidase = fusion of MBP and a truncated β-galactosidase. MBP-CBD = fusion of MBP and chitin binding domain. CBD-Mxe Intein= fusion of the chitin binding domain followed by the Mxe Intein. CBD-Mxe Intein-2CBD= fusion of chitin binding domain and the Mxe Intein followed by 2 copies of the chitin binding domain. CBD-E. coli Par= fusion of the chitin binding domain followed by an E. coli parvulin-like protein.
  2. Apparent molecular weights of every band are determined on Invitrogen Novex 10-20% Tris-glycine SDS PAGE gels using NEB's Protein Ladder (NEB #P7703)..
  3. To maximize shelf life, marker should be boiled upon receipt and aliquotted into single-use tubes. Store at -20°C.
Usage notes:
  1. Recommended load for SDS-PAGE Analysis is 15 μl, while 6 μl is recommended for Western blot analysis.

FAQs


  1. Is the ColorPlus Prestained Protein Marker stable at room temperature?
  2. After repeated freeze/thaws, I have noticed a fading or speading out of the low molecular weight bands in the ColorPlus Prestained Protein Marker. Is there any way to extend the shelf-life of this product?
  3. Why do the apparent molecular weight values for the prestained protein markers appear to be different in different gel types?
