Abstract
Electrophoresis is widely used in pharmaceutical field for multiple applications. It is mainly employed for protein separation and identification. The information obtained on protein content and composition from multiple gel electrophoresis provides basic knowledge required for drug design, biomarker, vaccine, and antibiotic research. Furthermore, combination with advance analytical techniques like MALDI-TOF, mass spectroscopy provides added advantages in analysing protien samples. Electrophoresis by single and multiple dimensional methods is becoming very popular in nanoparticle research to identify protein corona around particle which can predict organ targeting when used in vivo. This technique can also be used to detect toxicity potential of nanoparticles and generated oxidative stress. Multi-dimensional electrophoresis has already been used in conventional pharmaceutical application and now is marching to nanoparticle and/drug delivery research area.
