Identification of single amino acid differences in uniformly charged homopolymeric peptides with aerolysin nanopore

Existing methods used for peptide analysis suffer from low sensitivity and specificity. Here the authors demonstrate the nanopore-based size-discrimination and purity analysis of short homopolymeric peptides with a single amino acid resolution.
