Well, since I'm not sure if you want a protocol or the mechanism of binding,
here's the reference I have for the mechanism:

@article{Compton1985,
author = "S. J. Compton
     and C. G. Jones",
title = "Mechanisms of dye response and interference
in the bradford protein assay",
journal = "Anal. Biochem.",
volume = "151",
pages = "369-374",
comment = "mechanism of Coomassie Blue interaction with proteins",
year = "1985"}
