TLDR
In nanopore analytics, individual molecules pass through a single nanopore giving rise to detectable temporary blockades in ionic pore current, which ranges from nucleic acids, peptides, proteins, and biomolecular complexes to organic polymers and small molecules.Abstract:
In nanopore analytics, individual molecules pass through a single nanopore giving rise to detectable temporary blockades in ionic pore current. Reflecting its simplicity, nanopore analytics has gained popularity and can be conducted with natural protein as well as man-made polymeric and inorganic pores. The spectrum of detectable analytes ranges from nucleic acids, peptides, proteins, and biomolecular complexes to organic polymers and small molecules. Apart from being an analytical tool, nanopores have developed into a general platform technology to investigate the biophysics, physicochemistry, and chemistry of individual molecules (critical review, 310 references).read more

Enzyme-Encapsulated Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks Formed Inside the Single Glass Nanopore: Catalytic Performance and Sensing Application.
TL;DR: The HRP encapsulated in the MOF and modified inside the nanopore provides a novel and unlabeled design for studying enzymatic catalysis in a confined environment, which should have extensive applications in chemical-/bio-sensing, electrocatalysis, and fundamental electrochemistry.

TL;DR: The work presented here reveals that the ease or difficulty of coating a nanopore with lipid membranes did not depend significantly on the composition of the lipid mixture, but rather on the geometry and surface chemistry of the nanopore in the solid state substrate.

Analytes Triggered Conformational Switch of i-Motif DNA inside Gold-Decorated Solid-State Nanopores.
TL;DR: A new DNA functionalized gold-modified nanopore is developed, and analytes can induce the conformational switch of I-motif DNA formed on the inner surface of nanopore, which can help to deeply understand the DNA technology inside single nanopore.

Spatially Resolved Chemical Detection with a Nanoneedle-Probe-Supported Biological Nanopore
TL;DR: This report investigates the effects of several operational parameters on the performance of the ion channel measurement and electrochemical phenomenon that occur in the nanoconfined space between the supported bilayer and the gold electrode and describes the quantitative characterization of a gold nanoneedle ion channel probe.

The application of single molecule nanopore sensing for quantitative analysis.
Yanfang Wu,J. Justin Gooding +1 more
TL;DR: Nanopore-based sensors typically work by monitoring transient pulses in conductance via current-time traces as molecules translocate through the nanopore as discussed by the authors , which gives nanopore sensors the potential as quantitative sensors based on the counting of single molecules.

Improved patch-clamp techniques for high-resolution current recording from cells and cell-free membrane patches.
TL;DR: The extracellular patch clamp method, which first allowed the detection of single channel currents in biological membranes, has been further refined to enable higher current resolution, direct membrane patch potential control, and physical isolation of membrane patches.

Formation and Structure of Self-Assembled Monolayers.
TL;DR: Monolayers of alkanethiolates on gold are probably the most studied SAMs to date and offer the needed design flexibility, both at the individual molecular and at the material levels, and offer a vehicle for investigation of specific interactions at interfaces, and of the effect of increasing molecular complexity on the structure and stability of two-dimensional assemblies.

Characterization of individual polynucleotide molecules using a membrane channel
TL;DR: It is shown that an electric field can drive single-stranded RNA and DNA molecules through a 2.6-nm diameter ion channel in a lipid bilayer membrane, which could in principle provide direct, high-speed detection of the sequence of bases in single molecules of DNA or RNA.

Ion Channels in Excitable Membranes
TL;DR: The action potential is triggered when the membrane potential, which was at the resting level, depolarizes and reaches the threshold of excitation, which triggers the action potential.
