Abstract
The present invention provides a method for controlling a speed of a polypeptide passing through a nanopore and use thereof in determining an amino acid sequence of a polypeptide. Specifically, the method comprises: conjugating a polynucleotide to the polypeptide to give a polynucleotide-polypeptide conjugate, and applying a voltage across the nanopore in the presence of a polynucleotide binding enzyme to move the conjugate through the nanopore. The polynucleotide binding enzyme controls the movement of the polynucleotide and thereby controls the movement of the conjugated polypeptide in the nanopore, thus controlling the speed of the polypeptide passing through the nanopore.
