Neeraj Soni, a Ph.D. student in our group, won the best presentation award at Single Molecule Biophysics Conference, France 2022.
His presentation title : "Denatured protein translocations using sub 5 nm Solid-state nanopores”.
Proteins are the main constituents of all biological cells and are responsible for most of the cellular functions. Many of the current disease-specific biomarkers are proteins or modified versions of proteins hence creating a need for sensitive yet simple methods for protein identifications in clinical diagnostics applications. Herein, we developed a highly sensitive approach for identifying wide range lengths SDS denatured protein complexes. Given the simplicity and eradication of the tailor-made necessities, this assay holds the full potential to sequence the protein at a single-molecule level in the future.
Way to go Neeraj!
