The NativePAGE 5% G-250 Sample Additive is a concentrated stock solution of Coomassie G-250 designed for use with detergent (non-ionic) containing samples prepared for NativePAGE gel electrophoresis. Native proteins normally migrate on the gel according to natural charge/pI in the pH of gel buffer, but adding the Coomassie G-250 renders an associated negative charge even to high pI proteins that would normally have a positive charge. It binds to proteins non-specifically without denaturing them. The NativePAGE 5% G-250 Sample Additive is added to the cathode buffer and, optionally, to samples as well.
