Single Molecule Protein Sequencing is a cutting-edge analytical technology that directly sequences individual protein molecules at the single-molecule level, providing unparalleled insight into the primary structure of proteins. Unlike traditional protein sequencing methods that rely on large quantities of sample material and often involve complex sample preparation processes, this innovative technique allows for direct and precise identification of amino acid sequences from individual molecules, without the need for enzymatic digestion or amplification steps.

Schematic of the Single-molecule Protein Sequencing Workflow
Proteins are among the most important biological macromolecules in living organisms, and their functions are closely tied to overall health. A protein’s functionality does not depend solely on its amino acid sequence but is also intimately linked to its three-dimensional structure, modifications, and interactions. Traditional proteomic methods, such as mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), often require large sample volumes and complex pretreatment steps, and these techniques cannot directly reveal the precise arrangement of each amino acid within the protein molecule. As technology continues to evolve, single-molecule protein sequencing services have emerged, offering a completely new perspective for protein research.

Comparison with Traditional Protein Sequencing Technology
In traditional protein sequencing, proteins are typically digested by enzymes into smaller peptide fragments, and the mass of these fragments is then analyzed by mass spectrometry to infer the protein sequence. This approach depends on large-scale protein samples and can lead to the loss of important information during the cleavage process. In contrast, single-molecule protein sequencing does not rely on peptide digestion or large sample volumes; it directly analyzes intact protein molecules, reducing information loss and sample preparation steps while greatly enhancing data integrity and accuracy.
