Controlling molecular transport through nanopores.
Nanopores are emerging as powerful tools for the detection and identification of macromolecules in aqueous solution. In this review, we discuss the recent development of active and passive controls over molecular transport through nanopores with emphasis on biosensing applications. We give an overview of the solutions developed to enhance the sensitivity and specificity of the resistive-pulse t...
متن کاملMolecular transport through large-diameter DNA nanopores
DNA-based nanopores are synthetic biomolecular membrane pores, whose geometry and chemical functionality can be tuned using the tools of DNA nanotechnology, making them promising molecular devices for applications in single-molecule biosensing and synthetic biology. Here we introduce a large DNA membrane channel with an ≈4 nm diameter pore, which has stable electrical properties and spontaneous...
متن کاملSize-selective molecular transport through silica colloidal nanopores.
Diffusion rate of dye-labelled PAMAM dendrimers through free-standing silica colloidal crystals was studied as a function of the dendrimer generation and nanopore size to determine the transport selectivity.
متن کاملAnalysis of electrolyte transport through charged nanopores.
We revisit the classical problem of flow of electrolyte solutions through charged capillary nanopores or nanotubes as described by the capillary pore model (also called "space charge" theory). This theory assumes very long and thin pores and uses a one-dimensional flux-force formalism which relates fluxes (electrical current, salt flux, and fluid velocity) and driving forces (difference in elec...
متن کاملControlling protein translocation through nanopores with bio-inspired fluid walls
Synthetic nanopores have been used to study individual biomolecules in high throughput, but their performance as sensors does not match that of biological ion channels. Challenges include control of nanopore diameters and surface chemistry, modification of the translocation times of single-molecule analytes through nanopores, and prevention of non-specific interactions with pore walls. Here, in...
