The emerging field of nanotechnology strictly requires the micro-scaling of the available separation technology and the design of novel devices for separations of molecules of interest. The separation of proteins and nanoparticles is challenging due to their relatively large size, non-specific adherence to surfaces and instability in many solvents.

Blood vessel injury was found to release intracellular pools of protein
D-aspartyl/L-isoaspartyl carboxyl methyltransferase (PIMT) into the extracellular
milieu, where it became trapped. Trapped PIMT was able to utilize radiolabeled
S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) introduced into the circulation to methylate
blood vessel proteins containing altered aspartyl residues specifically at the site
of...
