Abstract
The present method provides methods and apparatus for separating proteins using a series of electrophoretic methods that utilize controlled fractionation and labeling techniques to resolve mixtures of proteins. The samples for each electrophoretic method other than the initial method, contain only a subset of proteins resolved in the preceding method. The methods can be used in a variety of different applications including, creating proteomic databases, comparative expression studies, diagnostics, structure activity relationships and metabolic engineering investigations.
