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).

Tunable Streaming Current in a pH-Regulated Nanochannel by a Field Effect Transistor

TL;DR: In this paper, active control of the surface charge property and the streaming current, generated by a pressure-driven flow, in a pH-regulated nanochannel using a field effect transistor (FET) is analyzed for the first time.

Structure, Dynamics, and Substrate Specificity of the OprO Porin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

TL;DR: Applied-field MD simulations and electrophysiological experiments demonstrated that the double mutations interchange the phosphate and diphosphate specificities of OprP and OprO, outlining a possible strategy to rationally design channel specificity by modification of a small number of residues that may be applicable to other pores as well.

Through a Window, Brightly: A Review of Selected Nanofabricated Thin-Film Platforms for Spectroscopy, Imaging, and Detection:

TL;DR: A thin-walled nanofluidic sample cell concept that has advanced the discovery horizons of ultrafast spectroscopy and of electron microscopy investigations of in-liquid samples; and a unique class of thin-film-based nanofLUidic devices, designed around a nanopore, with expansive prospects for single molecule sensing are highlighted.

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.

Abraham Ulman
- 20 Jun 1996 - 
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.
