Thread, read, rewind, repeat: towards using nanopores for protein sequencing

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate › peer-review

Abstract

Biologists would love to be able to read out the amino-acid sequence of any protein molecule as they would the letters of a sentence. A system in which a biological motor pulls proteins through a pore brings the dream closer to reality.
