DALLAS: Researchers have reported a new technique based on nanopores for the study of protein structure. The technique can potentially be applied in the study of protein aggregation that occurs in neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s disease.
Researchers have previously developed a new method for DNA sequencing in which the DNA’s bases are read as they pass through a nanoscopic hole. Now, the team has applied this technique to proteins in order to obtain more insight into their structure…
