Patent

Means and methods for single molecule peptide sequencing

The present invention relates to the field of biochemistry, more particularly to proteomics, more particularly to protein sequencing, even more particularly to single molecule peptide sequencing. The invention discloses means and methods for single molecule protein sequencing and/or amino acid identification using cleavage inducing agent. Said cleavage inducing agents which are not specific for one particular amino acid, cleave polypeptides step by step from the N-terminus onwards and provide information on the identity of the cleaved amino acids based on the kinetics of said reaction.
