Machine Learning-Assisted Sequencing-by-Degradation for Single-Molecule Protein Sequencing
Our group designed a “Sequencing-by-Degradation (SBD)” method, in which the N-terminal AAs of a peptide sample is chemically derivatized and cleaved, and then identified by a nanopore in a cyclic manner to reconstitute its sequence.
