Abstract
WE have been concerned with the chromatographic separation of proteins and have developed a simple method of location of proteins on a paper chromatogram or a cellulose column. We have utilized the fact that acid dyes have an affinity for protein fibres but not for cellulose. The developed chromatogram is treated with an acid solution of a suitable dyestuff, preferably warmed for a few minutes, then rinsed in water, when the proteins appear as coloured spots or streaks on a white background. Amino-acids and peptides are not stained.
