protein fractionation

Protein fractionation is a laboratory process used to separate and identify different proteins within a mixture, such as blood or tissue samples. It involves breaking down the cells to release proteins and then using techniques like centrifugation, filtration, or chromatography to sort proteins based on their size, charge, or other properties. This allows scientists to analyze specific proteins for research, diagnostic, or pharmaceutical purposes. Essentially, protein fractionation helps isolate and study individual proteins from complex biological samples efficiently.
