Abstract: There is provided amino acid cleaving reagents with improved cleavage activity, allowing for more structural information to be obtained from polypeptides in sequencing reactions.

Abstract: Aspects of the application provide methods of identifying and sequencing proteins, polypeptides, and amino acids, and compositions useful for the same. In some aspects, the application provides amino acid recognition molecules, such as amino acid binding proteins and fusion polypeptides thereof. In some aspects, the application provides amino acid recognition molecules comprising a shielding element that enhances photostability in polypeptide sequencing reactions.

Abstract: There is provided amino acid recognizers with improved binding properties, allowing for more structural information to be obtained from polypeptides based on the kinetics of on-off binding between recognizer and polypeptide. An amino acid recognizer may comprise an amino acid binding protein with an engineered binding pocket having one or more modifications relative to a homologous protein. The modified binding pocket may increase the number of interactions formed between the binding pocket and an amino acid ligand as compared to an unmodified binding pocket of the homologous protein, increase the number of types of amino acid ligands capable of being detectably bound as compared to an unmodified binding pocket of the homologous protein, and improve the kinetics of binding (e.g., KD, koff, kon) toward one or more types of amino acid ligands, which advantageously increases the amount of, or confidence in, structural information that may be derived from polypeptide analysis.

Abstract: Provided herein are compounds of Formulae (I) and (II), which comprise polypeptidyl groups. Also provided herein are methods of preparing compounds of Formulae (I) and (II). Further provided herein are methods of sequencing a polypeptide by reaction of compounds of Formula (II) with peptidases.

Abstract: Aspects of the application relate to methods and systems for obtaining information regarding multiple amino acids in a polypeptide based on binding interactions between the polypeptide and one or more amino acid recognizers. Kinetic signature information may be obtained from a series of signal pulses indicative of a series of binding events between one or more amino acid recognizers and an amino acid of a polypeptide (e.g., a terminal amino acid, an internal amino acid). The kinetic signature information (e.g., pulse duration, interpulse duration, recognition segment (RS) duration, intersegment duration) may be used to determine one or more chemical characteristics (e.g., identity, modification) of multiple amino acids of the polypeptide.
