title: Novel application of carbon nanotubes for improving resolution in detecting human serum proteins with native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
abstract: This paper describes a novel application of carbon nanotubes for improving the resolution of a native PAGE in the detection of human serum proteins. Carbon nanotubes were functionalized and introduced into the gel of native PAGE system, and the electropherogram showed sharp, clear bands. Furthermore, the separation of some most important proteins was improved, and the established method could be applied for the detection of sera from patients with liver diseases.
