A new publication in Nature from Shuo Huang's lab introduces tPAL (transient Pore Analyte Looping), a novel nanopore sequencing technique that overcomes the challenge of fast-moving peptides.
Key Innovations:
- Immobilizes the protein to the nanopore to prevent movement.
- Uses an enzyme to cleave off one amino acid at a time.
- Allows each cleaved amino acid to be measured hundreds of times.
Results: The team successfully sequenced a 22 amino-acid protein with 98% accuracy, paving the way for highly accurate proteomics decoding.
