Using a modified Ag stain of Merril et al. for staining polypeptides in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, protein bands reproducibly stain different shades of blue, yellow, red and gray. The procedure is highly temperature dependent, with optimal color formation at 42.degree. C. The procedure may be completed within 2 h. Color formation is due to Ag ion complexes with charged amino acid side chains. The color of the Ag-protein complex can be predicted if the amino acid sequence is known, although some exceptions are discussed. This provides another dimension to the characterization of proteins by gel electrophoresis.
