ABSTRACT:
The methods and apparatus100, disclosed herein are of use for sequencing150and/or identifying160proteins230, 310, polypeptides230, 310or peptides230, 310. Proteins230, 310containing labeled amino acid residues may be synthesized and passed through nanopores255, 330. A detector257, 345operably coupled to a nanopore255, 330may detect labeled amino acid residues as they pass through the nanopore255, 330. Distance maps140for each type of labeled amino acid residue may be compiled. The distance maps140may be used to sequence150and/or identify160the protein230, 310. In different embodiments of the invention, amino acid residues labeled with luminescent labels235, 245or nanoparticles315may be detected using photodetectors257or electrical detectors345. Apparatus100of use for protein230, 310sequencing150and/or identification160are also disclosed herein.
