Sequential reading of a stepwise-shortened peptide immobilized on nanopore

Reports a nanopore strategy that sequentially shortens and re-reads immobilized peptides to produce stepwise signals enabling sequence decoding.

Key Takeaways
  • Engineered MspA nanopore with NTA-Ni adapter immobilizes peptide N termini for repeated reads
  • Cholesterolized aminopeptidase trims peptides one residue at a time producing sequence-dependent signal steps
  • Multi-voltage, machine-learning pipeline achieved up to 98.0% validation accuracy for peptide classification
