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.
