Scope of the Review. Herein, we provide an up-to-date overview of the field of nanopore
sensing with emphases placed on the advances made in the most recent two years (2014 …

Solid-state nanopores are nm sized apertures formed in thin synthetic membranes. These
single molecule sensors have been used in a variety of biophysical and diagnostic …

A high throughput single-molecule method for identifying peptides and sequencing proteins
based on nanopores could reduce costs and increase speeds of sequencing, allow the …

Protein nanopores offer an inexpensive, label-free method of analysing single
oligonucleotides. The sensitivity of the approach is largely determined by the characteristics …

Biological nanopores are nanoscale sensors employed for high-throughput, low-cost, and
long read-length DNA sequencing applications. The analysis and sequencing of proteins …

Provided herein are methods and devices for characterizing a biomolecule parameter by a
nanopore-containing mem brane, and also methods for making devices that can be used in …

Sensitivity and specificity are two most important factors to take into account for molecule
sensing, chemical detection and disease diagnosis. A perfect sensitivity is to reach the level …

Cells are divided into compartments and separated from the environment by lipid bilayer
membranes. Essential molecules are transported back and forth across the membranes. We …

Nanopore‐based techniques, which mimic the functions of natural ion channels, have
attracted increasing attention as unique methods for single‐molecule detection. The …

Transport of ions through pores in membranes is a process of fundamental importance to
cell biology. In living organisms, such transport is facilitated by ion channels that utilize the …
