Controlling molecular transport through nanopores.
نویسنده
چکیده
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 technique based on biological and solid-state nanopores.

متن کاملTransport behavior of water molecules through two-dimensional nanopores.
Water transport through a two-dimensional nanoporous membrane has attracted increasing attention in recent years thanks to great demands in water purification and desalination applications. However, few studies have been reported on the microscopic mechanisms of water transport through structured nanopores, especially at the atomistic scale. Here we investigate the microstructure of water flow ...
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 کاملProbing Single Dna Molecule Transport Using Fabricated Nanopores.
Nanopores can serve as high throughput, single molecule sensing devices that provide insight into the distribution of static and dynamic molecular activities, properties, or interactions. We have studied double stranded DNA electrophoretic transport dynamics through fabricated nanopores in silicon nitride. A fabricated pore enables us to interrogate a broader range of molecules with a wider ran...
متن کاملSDS-assisted protein transport through solid-state nanopores.
Using nanopores for single-molecule sequencing of proteins - similar to nanopore-based sequencing of DNA - faces multiple challenges, including unfolding of the complex tertiary structure of the proteins and enforcing their unidirectional translocation through nanopores. Here, we combine molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with single-molecule experiments to investigate the utility of SDS (Sodi...
