Artist impression of the peptide reader (IMAGE)
Caption
“Artist impression of the peptide reader, where a helicase (red) pulls up a DNA molecule (yellow) to which a peptide (purple) is attached – yielding a slow translocation of the molecule through the nanopore (green) which allows to read off the ion current signals (orange highlight) that characterize the amino acids of the peptide as they temporarily block the pore.”
