Potentiometric sensing of nucleic acids using chemically modified nanopores.
Unlike the overwhelming majority of nanopore sensors that are based on the measurement of a transpore ionic current, here we introduce a potentiometric sensing scheme and demonstrate its application for the selective detection of nucleic acids. The sensing concept uses the charge inversion that occurs in the sensing zone of a nanopore upon binding of negatively charged microRNA strands to posit...
متن کاملSingle-molecule manipulation of nucleic acids.
During the past decade, local force measurement techniques, such as atomic force microscopy and optical tweezers, were used to study the elastic properties and mechanically induced structural transitions of nucleic acids at the single-molecule level. Single-molecule manipulation has also increasingly been used to investigate DNA-dependent enzymatic processes, with implications for unfolding and...
متن کاملNanopores in solid-state membranes engineered for single molecule detection.
A nanopore is an analytical tool with single molecule sensitivity. For detection, a nanopore relies on the electrical signal that develops when a molecule translocates through it. However, the detection sensitivity can be adversely affected by noise and the frequency response. Here, we report measurements of the frequency and noise performance of nanopores </=8 nm in diameter in membranes compa...
متن کاملSingle Molecule Trapping and Sensing Using Dual Nanopores Separated by a Zeptoliter Nanobridge
There is a growing realization, especially within the diagnostic and therapeutic community, that the amount of information enclosed in a single molecule can not only enable a better understanding of biophysical pathways, but also offer exceptional value for early stage biomarker detection of disease onset. To this end, numerous single molecule strategies have been proposed, and in terms of labe...
متن کاملWatching single proteins using engineered nanopores.
Recent studies in the area of single-molecule detection of proteins with nanopores show a great promise in fundamental science, bionanotechnology and proteomics. In this mini-review, I discuss a comprehensive array of examinations of protein detection and characterization using protein and solid-state nanopores. These investigations demonstrate the power of the single-molecule nanopore measurem...
