Stains-All, a cationic carbocyanine dye, is a convenient probe to study the structural features of the individual calcium-binding sites of calmodulin (CaM) and related calcium-binding proteins (CaBP) [1] [2] .
Almost all of the proteins found in skeletal muscle extracts, including the Ca 2+ +Mg 2+ -ATPase and the 53,000-Da glycoprotein of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, are stained red or pink with Stains-all. Calsequestrin, the 1 60,000-Da glycoprotein, and 170,000-Da protein are stained blue with Stains-all. The ratio of Stains-all staining (measured at 615 nm) to that of Coomassie blue staining (measured at 575 nm) is 1.3 for calsequestrin, 2.0 for calmodulin, 1.4 for troponin C, and 2.2 for S-100. Therefore, in addition to differentially staining these Ca 2+ -binding proteins blue, Stains-all is a more sensitive stain for these Ca 2+ -binding proteins than is Coomassie blue [3] .
MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
