Mutant aerolysin and uses thereof

Matteo Dal Peraro, Chan Cao

Provided herein are aerolysin polypeptides and/or mutant aerolysin monomers comprising modified amino acid sequences that could have improved substrate analyte, such as (poly)nucleotide and peptide, improved reading properties such as enhanced substrate an ...

Biological nanopores for single-molecule sensing

Matteo Dal Peraro, Chan Cao, Simon Finn Mayer

Evolution has found countless ways to transport material across cells and cellular compartments separated by membranes. Protein assemblies are the cornerstone for the formation of channels and pores that enable this regulated passage of molecules in and ou ...

Systems and methods for digital information decoding and data storage in hybrid macromolecules

Aleksandra Radenovic, Matteo Dal Peraro, Chan Cao, Lucien Fabrice Krapp

Systems and methods for data storage and readout using hybrid nucleic acid- polymeric molecules are herein disclosed. A molecular data storage medium is presented comprising a header and a footer, each comprising or consisting of at least one unit of a fir ...

The emerging landscape of single-molecule protein sequencing technologies

Chan Cao, Sonja Schmid, Michael Mayer

Single-cell profiling methods have had a profound impact on the understanding of cellular heterogeneity. While genomes and transcriptomes can be explored at the single-cell level, single-cell profiling of proteomes is not yet established. Here we describe ...

Single-molecule sensing of peptides and nucleic acids by engineered aerolysin nanopores

Aleksandra Radenovic, Matteo Dal Peraro, Chan Cao, Nuria Cirauqui Diaz, Alice Duperrex, Elena Buglakova

Nanopore sensing is a powerful single-molecule approach for the detection of biomolecules. Recent studies have demonstrated that aerolysin is a promising candidate to improve the accuracy of DNA sequencing and to develop novel single-molecule proteomic str ...
