blue native gel electrophoresis

[Nora Plesofsky]

I have run native gels to equilibrium to determine approximate sizes of  
protein complexes. However, I continue to read references to blue native gel  
electrophoresis for the same purpose. Can someone tell me what blue native  
gel electrophoresis is (especially the blue part)?

Thanks alot.
