Protein chromatography
Protein chromatography is a technique used to separate and purify specific proteins from a mixture. It works by passing the mixture through a special material called a chromatography column, where different proteins travel at different speeds based on their unique properties, such as size, charge, or affinity for certain substances. As the mixture moves through, proteins are separated and collected in individual fractions. This process helps researchers isolate pure proteins for study or medical use, enabling detailed analysis while preserving their structure and function.
