Nanostructured microfluidic digestion system for rapid high-performance proteolysis

Lab Chip. 2015 Feb 7;15(3):650-4. doi: 10.1039/c4lc01165a.

Abstract

A novel microfluidic protein digestion system with a nanostructured and bioactive inner surface was constructed by an easy biomimetic self-assembly strategy for rapid and effective proteolysis in 2 minutes, which is faster than the conventional overnight digestion methods. It is expected that this work would contribute to rapid online digestion in future high-throughput proteomics.
