MIT's molecular sieve advances protein research

New technology from MIT that allows for faster and more accurate sorting of proteins that could potentially help cure and understand diseases. This technology uses a sieve that can sort the proteins by size and shape. The current technology involves using electrophoresis (relating charged substances and how they move through an electrical field) which is slow and not as accurate. Enjoy!
