TLDR
It is shown that OmpG nanopore equipped with a biotin ligand can distinguish glycosylated and deglycosylation isoforms of avidin by their differences in surface charge.
Abstract
The flexible loops decorating the entrance of OmpG nanopore move dynamically during ionic current recording. The gating caused by these flexible loops changes when a target protein is bound. The gating is characterized by parameters including frequency, duration, and open-pore current, and these features combine to reveal the identity of a specific analyte protein. Here, we show that OmpG nanopore equipped with a biotin ligand can distinguish glycosylated and deglycosylated isoforms of avidin by their differences in surface charge. Our studies demonstrate that the direct interaction between the nanopore and analyte surface, induced by the electrostatic attraction between the two molecules, is essential for protein isoform detection. Our technique is remarkably sensitive to the analyte surface, which may provide a useful tool for glycoprotein profiling.

Label-Free Detection of Post-translational Modifications with a Nanopore

TL;DR: It is shown that phosphorylated and glycosylated peptides can be clearly differentiated from nonmodified peptides by differences in the relative current blockade and dwell time in nanopore translocations, an important step for the single-molecule, label-free identification of proteoforms, which have tremendous potential for disease diagnosis and cell biology.

Selective Detection of Protein Homologues in Serum Using an OmpG Nanopore

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the feasibility of directly profiling proteins in real-world samples with minimal or no sample pretreatment and show that two antibiotin antibodies each induced a distinct gating pattern that allowed them to be readily detected and simultaneously discriminated by a single OmpG nanopore in the presence of fetal bovine serum.
