title: Functionalized porous silicon surfaces as MALDI-MS substrates for protein identification studies.
abstract: Alkyl monolayer modified porous silicon functional surfaces are employed for selective binding of proteins from complex mixtures (through washing of the deposited mixture spot using appropriate buffer) and MALDI-MS is used to detect the components retained on the surface.
