The glycan sequencing remains a significant bottleneck in glycoscience. While nanopore platforms have achieved substantial progress single-molecule nucleic acid sequencing, their application to has faced considerable challenges, with limited advancements date. In this study, we propose novel strategy for controlling translocation through the MspA as an initial step toward sequencing. By conjugating target helicase-controlled single-stranded DNA, successfully reads of up eleven glycans. For first time, isolated glycan-associated electrical signals, enabling translocation, stretching, and controlled speed neutral glycans nanopore. This method provides platform obtaining read lengths identifying different modifications, demonstrating capability resolve monosaccharide composition glycosidic linkages. To further improve resolution, engineered M2-MspA reduce pore constriction size enhance precision by minimizing random thermal motion translocating glycan. These modifications are expected increase accuracy reliability. work represents proof-of-concept demonstration chain lays promising foundation development fingerprinting technologies. We anticipate that approach will significantly advance commercialization nanopore-based techniques.

Nanopores are promising sensors for glycan analysis with the accurate identification of complex glycans laying foundation nanopore-based sequencing. However, their applicability toward continuous sequencing has not yet been demonstrated. Here, we present a proof-of-concept by combining nanopore technology glycosidase-hydrolyzing reactions. By continuously monitoring changes in characteristic current generated translocation hydrolysis products through nanopore, sequence can be accurately identified based on specificity glycosidases. With machine learning, improved accuracy to over 98%, allowing reliable determination consecutive building blocks and glycosidic linkages chains while reducing need operator expertise. This approach was validated real samples, calibrated using hydrophilic interaction chromatography-high-performance liquid chromatography (HILIC-HPLC) mass spectrometry (MS). We achieved ten units natural chains, which provided first evidence feasibility nanopore-glycosidase-compatible system Compared traditional methods, this strategy enhances efficiency 5-fold. Additionally, introduced concept 'inverse sequencing', focuses electrical signal rather than monosaccharide identification. eliminates reliance fingerprint libraries typically required putative 'forward hydrolysis' strategies. When challenges both inverse strategies' addressed, will pave way establishing at single-molecule level.
