Nanopore technology identifies proteins molecule by molecule

Proteins are responsible for most functions in the human body.

However, their analysis, which is essential for understanding diseases, developing drugs and discovering new biomarkers, remains highly complex.

Using a technology called "nanopore detection," a team at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has developed a rapid and efficient method for identifying proteins, molecule by molecule.

These findings, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, pave the way for faster diagnostics. ...
