Biosensing with Nanofluidic Diodes
TLDR
The proof of principle of the rectification degree-based sensing was shown by preparation of sensors for avidin and streptavidin and the devices allowed for determination of the isoelectric point of the minute amounts of proteins immobilized on the surface.Abstract:
Recently reported nanofluidic diodes with highly nonlinear current−voltage characteristics offer a unique possibility to construct different biosensors. These sensors are based on local changes of the surface charge on walls of single conical nanopores induced by binding of an analyte. The analyte binding can be detected as a change of the ion-current rectification of single nanopores defined as a ratio of currents for voltages of one polarity, and currents for voltages of the opposite polarity. In this article, we provided both modeling and experimental studies of various biosensing routes based on monitoring changes of the rectification degree in nanofluidic diodes used as a biosensing platform. A prototype of a sensor for the capsular poly γ-d-glutamic acid (γDPGA) from Bacillus anthracis is presented. The nanopore used for the sensing was locally modified with the monoclonal antibody for γDPGA. The proof of principle of the rectification degree-based sensing was further shown by preparation of sensors...read more

TL;DR: It is shown that coating nanopores with fluid bilayer lipids allows the pore diameters to be fine-tuned in sub-nanometre increments, and incorporation of mobile ligands in the lipid conferred specificity and slowed down the translocation of targeted proteins sufficiently to time-resolve translocation events of individual proteins.

Electrically Facilitated Translocations of Proteins through Silicon Nitride Nanopores: Conjoint and Competitive Action of Diffusion, Electrophoresis, and Electroosmosis
TL;DR: The results reveal that electroosmotic transport may enhance or dominate and reverse electrophoretic transport in nanopores and diffusion becomes an effective (and bias-independent) mechanism which facilitates protein transport across the pore at a significant rate.

Zero-length crosslinking procedure with the use of active esters
TL;DR: The advantage of this method versus one-step zero-length crosslinking is that only one component of the complex is exposed to the crosslinker, which eliminates complications arising from the formation of crosslinks among several proteins of a multicomponent complex.
