Enhanced translocation of poly(dt)45 through an α-hemolysin nanopore by binding with antibody.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The translocation time of poly(dT)(45) through an α-hemolysin pore was reduced in the presence of a DNA-binding Fab fragment. The Fab acts as a rudder to steer the DNA into the pore.

Single pyrimidine discrimination during voltage-driven translocation of osmylated oligodeoxynucleotides via the α-hemolysin nanopore
The influence of an electric field on an isolated channel or nanopore separating two compartments filled with electrolytes produces a constant ion flux through the pore. Nucleic acids added to one compartment traverse the pore, and modulate the current in a sequence-dependent manner. While translocation is faster than detection, the α-hemolysin nanopore (α-HL) successfully senses base modificat...
متن کاملDetermination of Molecular Weights in Polyelectrolyte Mixtures Using Polymer Translocation through a Protein Nanopore
We introduce a single molecular analysis technique for the evaluation of molecular weight distributions of polyelectrolyte solutions by measuring translocation times of sodium polystyrenesulfonate (NaPSS) chains in a mixture passing through an α-hemolysin protein nanopore. The ionic current through an α-hemolysin nanopore is partially blocked transiently when the pore is occupied by a polymer c...
متن کاملMembrane protein biosensing with plasmonic nanopore arrays and pore-spanning lipid membranes.
Integration of solid-state biosensors and lipid bilayer membranes is important for membrane protein research and drug discovery. In these sensors, it is critical that the solid-state sensing material does not have adverse effects on the conformation or functionality of membrane-bound molecules. In this work, pore-spanning lipid membranes are formed over an array of periodic nanopores in free-st...
متن کاملRNase A Does Not Translocate the Alpha-Hemolysin Pore
The application of nanopore sensing utilizing the α-hemolysin pore to probe proteins at single-molecule resolution has expanded rapidly. In some studies protein translocation through the α-hemolysin has been reported. However, there is no direct evidence, as yet, that proteins can translocate the α-hemolysin pore. The biggest challenge to obtaining direct evidence is the lack of a highly sensit...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of the nanopore translocation dynamics of simple structured polynucleotides.
Nanopore translocation experiments are increasingly applied to probe the secondary structures of RNA and DNA molecules. Here, we report two vital steps toward establishing nanopore translocation as a tool for the systematic and quantitative analysis of polynucleotide folding: 1), Using α-hemolysin pores and a diverse set of different DNA hairpins, we demonstrate that backward nanopore force spe...
