Abstract:It was shown that the staining of proteins in polyacrylamide gel by silver is inhibited by contact with air of the ammonia complex with silver ions used at the first stage of detection. It was proved by experiments on the reduction of silver by ethanolamine from a complex with ethanolamine and by formaldehyde from a complex with ammonia that the formation of silver nanoparticles initiated by proteins is inhibited by air carbon dioxide. The participation of carbon dioxide in this process is discussed. It was found that even the breathing of an experimenter can induce variations in carbon dioxide concentration sufficient to adversely affect the reproducibility of the silver staining techniques. It was concluded that, for stable staining of proteins by silver in polyacrylamide gel, it is necessary to maintain a low concentration of carbon dioxide in air over the detection solutions.
