This work demonstrates a minimal single-molecule proteolysis-free approach that requires very small samples, is non-destructive, and can be translated with currently available technology into a portable device for possible use in the field or in an academic setting, or in a pre-screening step preceding conventional mass spectrometry.<br>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
