Synthetic Glass Nanopore for Single Molecule Detection

Article Preview

Abstract:

The molecular-scale pore structure, called nanopore, interacting with target molecules in its functionalized lumen, can produce characteristic changes in the pore conductance, which allows us to identify single molecules and simultaneously quantify each target species in the mixture. Nanopore sensors have been created for tremendous biomedical detections, with targets ranging from metal ions, drug compounds and cellular second messengers, to proteins and DNAs. Here we will review our recent discoveries with a lab-in-hand glass nanopore: single-molecule discrimination of chiral enantiomers with a trapped cyclodextrin, sensing of bioterrorist agent ricin and site-directed capturing a single nanoparticle.
