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).

Remote Activation of a Nanopore for High-Performance Genetic Detection Using a pH Taxis-Mimicking Mechanism

TL;DR: A simple and easy-to-operate approach to noncovalently transform aerolysin into a highly nucleic acids-sensitive nanopore, and provides insight into the nanopore engineering for biosensing, making aeroly sin applicable in genetic and epigenetic detections of long nucleic acid detections.

Multiscale analysis of the effect of surface charge pattern on a nanopore's rectification and selectivity properties: From all-atom model to Poisson-Nernst-Planck.

TL;DR: It is found that the values of the diffusion coefficients are sensitive to the net charge of the pore but are relatively transferable to different voltages and charge patterns with the same total charge.

Delivery of Single Nanoparticles from Nanopipettes under Resistive‐Pulse Control

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper developed a nanoelectrochemical methodology for controlled delivery of singlenanometer-sized particles, which is based on the resistive-pulse concept, which has been widely employed in sensing applications from singlemolecule detection to particle sizing to DNA sequencing.

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.
