Engineered protein nanopore (IMAGE) University of Oxford Caption An engineered protein nanopore directed a water flux strong enough to capture, unfold and translocate proteins exceeding 1200 amino acids in length. Modulation of electrical current during protein translocation through the nanopore detected post-translational modifications deep within the proteins (shown as circle, triangle, and hexagon).
