The solid-state nanopore proves to be a surprisingly versatile new single-molecule tool for biophysics and biotechnology.
Salt dependence of ion transport and DNA translocation through solid-state nanopores.
Experimental measurements of the salt dependence of ion transport and DNA translocation through solid-state nanopores show a three-order-of-magnitude decrease with decreasing salt concentrations from 1 M to 1 muM, strongly deviating from bulk linear behavior.
