Quantifying proteins and proteoforms with Iterative Mapping on the Nautilus Platform

Iterative Mapping is Nautilus’ novel single-molecule method for quantifying proteins and proteoforms across the full proteome. In the method, billions of protein molecules are captured and displayed on massive, single-molecule arrays – one protein per optically distinguishable landing pad. Fluorescent probes that bind features indicative of protein or proteoform identity are sequentially added to the array, and multiple probe-protein binding events are recorded for every individual protein molecule. After tens to hundreds of unique probe binding cycles, machine learning-powered algorithms convert the probe binding patterns into confident protein and proteoform identifications that are summed for robust quantification.
