In the 1950s, new methods of protein separation were developed that enabled the systematic study of molecular variation in many more human proteins. Starch gel electrophoresis allowed the separation of closely related protein variants by differences in charge and molecular size. Smithies (1955) detected the amazing polymorphism of haptoglobin. In later years the method was extended to the study of allozymes (enzyme polymorphisms).
