  • NANOPORE/NANOWELL ELECTRODE ENABLED EXONUCLEASE SEQUENCING
    Publication number: 20230405580
    Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for identifying individual monomeric units in sequential order as they are released or cleaved from a polymer strand via an enzyme, which acts on the polymer, and the monomeric units translocate through a transmembrane channel. Methods are also provided for identifying molecules as they translocate through a transmembrane channel.
