Flamingo stain
Flamingo Stain is a dye used in biological laboratories for the detection and visualization of proteins in polyacrylamide gels. It is a sensitive staining method that can detect nanogram quantities of proteins. The stain binds to the basic amino acid residues in proteins, resulting in the proteins appearing as bright pink bands on the gel.

Analysis of quinone-modified proteins
Quinone Detection in Protein Samples
Laemmli sample loading buffer (Bio-Rad, CA, USA) were added to the reaction mixture.
The sample (60-ng protein/lane) and Precision Plus Protein Dual Color Standard (Bio-Rad) were then applied to an SDS-polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE, 10% acrylamide) and then migrated by electrophoresis. The proteins in gels were blotted onto a PVDF membrane (Immobilon-P, Merck), and quinones on the membrane were stained using NBT (0.24 mM) in 2-M glycine-NaOH (pH 10) as described previously [19, 20] (link). The same samples were separated using a gel, and the proteins in the gel were stained using Flamingo Stain (Bio-Rad) according to the manufactures' protocol. Detection was performed using a LAS1000 plus (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan). This experiment was performed twice.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
