Abstract
A NOVEL method for the fluorescent labelling of proteins has been described recently which involved treatment of a protein solution with an active labelling dye dispersed, on diatomaceous earth or other inert materials1. This modification afforded a considerable saving in time and minimized protein denaturation as compared with earlier techniques. The experiments reported here constitute a further improvement of this procedure which obviates time-consuming dialysis and permits fluorescent labelling of protein solutions, removal of hydrolysed or unreacted dye and change of buffer as well as pH in less than 30 min.
